Your first edits

Good job adding yourself to your group ([1]). Keep up the good job, don't forget to carry out other parts of the assignment, and try making more edits on Wikipedia to get a feel for it! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 23:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Good job. Please note that the first deadline also required edits to the sandbox and to an article's talk page. Let me know when you do them if you want me to consider them for extra credit (it is too late to do them for the deadline). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 22:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the talk page, good point, I'll create one shortly (you don't have to do so yourselves unless you have something to say there right now). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 04:07, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Good job experimenting, one note: on Wikipedia, we use bottomposting. Could you go back to my talk page and move your posts from near the top to the bottom of the page, where they should be? In the future, you may want to use the + or new section buttons which automatically starts a new thread at the very bottom of the page. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 04:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey I have my part of the outline on what I thought I'd like to work on. It's considerably short since we are all combining our outlines together to make one complete final outline. My outline is tentative. I have to go to the library and see what I can find out about the topics I chose to write about. For the countries I chose, I picked them based on the cultures I figured I'd be able to find the most information about and which I though had strong family honor traditions and customs. But I'll post my part of the outline below:

Family Honor

1. History

        a.Gender Roles
        b.Group Values 

2. Honor within different Cultures

        a.Traditions
            i.	Asia
                 1.China
                 2.Korea
                 3.Japan
            ii. Middle East
            iii.Africa
         b.How Honor is upheld in different cultures

I've put some information on the website about the first two portions. Hopefully I can expand on them. If not it's a considerable amount of information. Let me know if this looks okay. Rojast07 (talk) 20:28, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for adding all of that! I made some minor edits to your post for added clarity. Actually, if you don't mind, I would be happy to edit anything that is posted onto the article to make sure that everything's polished. I also found one more source, and I'll send it to you through e-mail.

We probably have plenty of material by now. Do you want me to verify the instructor? He can let us know what we're missing. Leishanda G.

Hello Leishanda!

I really like the topic of your groups wiki page. How about something simple like family pictures from different cultures. Do you think that is a good suggestion? --Nas132 (talk) 11:42, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: Family Honor citation issues

Fixed. The following reference was not used in the current version of the text, but listed in references:

<ref name="code">{{cite book|last=Appiah|first=Kwame|title=The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=P368fFhdvEwC|year=2010|publisher=W. W. Norton & Company|page=xvi|isbn=978-0-393-07162-7}}</ref> Please note that before GA nominations, you have to provide references for the [citation needed] requests in the lead, or remove the unreferenced content. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 06:38, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Citations

You don't have to cite every sentence - see this for instance. Try to conserve those...ResMar 05:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLUE aside, I disagree here, Mario. Citations are important. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 08:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I suppose I was just being careful. I'd gladly listen to suggestions to spread them out. I'm not quite sure which sentences would need citations and which wouldn't.
