Article: Credibility is most definitely a part of multiple wiki projects.[1] These projects include Wikiproject business, WikiProject Marketing & Advertising, WikiProject Philosophy, and WikiProject Politics. Most of the references do have sources except for one which stated: "citation needed".[2] Unfortunately, no ratings could be found on this particular article. Most sources are reliable except for one link that is invalid and shows the website doesn't exist.[3] The talk page consists of edits made to the article.[1]

Article: The Earth Is Flat? Check Wikipedia; I learned that the Wikipedia website is actually younger than me, at only sixteen years old compared to my age at nineteen years old. It was also surprising to see that other college students were actually receiving the same wiki assignments I'm participating in as well, also the fact that most students were going into Wikipedia with open arms instead of the negative stereotype that most modern educators have about the website. My thought on Wikipedia as it stands at this very moment is actually something I never though I would say in my lifetime, Wikipedia is not a bad source for information, but it is still far from perfection as a respected information source.[4]

Article: Wikipedia: Conflict of interest; I was very surprised to see that Wikipedia have guidelines that are similar to the journalistic code of ethics. Most of the conflicts of interests (or COI for short) are rather very self-explanatory, If you are going to edit an article or wiki page on behalf of a company that has either hired you or one that you work with, you must disclose that you are getting paid to do it and you must disclose who is paying you. When discussing possible changes to the page in the talk section you absolutely must act in a civilized and or sophisticated manner. To describe the guideline in one sentence might be tough, but I'll do my best. In general, if you feel like you have a COI on any given article or wiki page you come across then your better off not even trying to fix it in the first place due to the massive conflicts that come with editing or writing pages about yourself, family, or other close individuals or third parties not specified.

[6] Jojo's bizarre adventure is a long running manga series created by Heriheko Araki.[7] Jojo's bizarre adventure started in the 1987 and is still ongoing to this very day. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure tells the story of the Joestar family, a family whose various members discover they are destined to take down supernatural foes using unique powers that they possess. The manga is split up into 8 unique parts, each following the story of one member of the Joestar family, who inevitably has a name that can be abbreviated to the titular "JoJo". The first six parts of the series take place within a single continuity, while parts 7 and 8 take place in an alternate continuity.[8] It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 2004 before being transferred to the monthly seinen magazine Ultra Jump in 2005. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is currently Shueisha's[9] second largest manga series[10] with its chapters collected into 118 tankōbon volumes and counting. Jojo's bizarre adventure has currently had a four part animated TV show which has both an English dub and its original Japanese dub, however, only parts one and two have an English dub with parts three and four expected to be in development by English localization company Viz Media. [11] Jojo's wiki page does have an issue when it comes to the names of the "stands" that show up in part 3 onwards[12], The stands are named after famous western songs and bands due to Araki's love for western culture. This has led to unfortunate decision to change the names of all stands in both the English print of the manga and the English dub of the TV show for obvious copyright reasons.

Higashihongu

edit

The main shrine called Higashihongu and a hall of worship called Nishihongu (west hall) face each other across the Iwato River gorge. The Amano Iwato cave is an object of worship in festivals and is a rock cave on the other side of the Iwato River from Nishihongu. You can see the cave from Nishihongu after participating in a Shinto ritual for purification. Photography of any kind is prohibited.[13]

The grounds are a treasure house of plants and old trees. Fall leaves around Nishihongu paint the whole surroundings with a breathtaking beauty in fall. There are also rare ancient ginkgo and michelia compressa trees, which have been sacred in Japan since ancient times.
