First Wikipedia Edit

I just finished my first edit on Wikipedia. I chose to edit an article on the artist Violet Oakley. Oakley is a prominent artist from the late 1800's to early 1900's. She painted a number of murals in the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building. Over the summer, I interned with the Pennsylvania Capitol Preservation Committee. One of the many things the committee deals with is the preservation of the art throughout the Capitol Complex. In addition to knowing some information about Oakley from working with the committee, the Oakley article is very sparse, which made it very easy to edit.

I added some more information about Oakley's education, her murals in the Capitol Building, and how she (along with two other artists) came to receive their nickname. In my edits, I included some links to other articles on Wikipedia. Overall, the process of editing the article was simple. Now, I will wait to see how other watchers of this article will react. I am sure there will be more edits to come.

Blog Purpose

This blog is a class project for
Information Technology Applications in Marketing. By the end of the semester I will hopefully be more familliar with the world of blogs. I will update at least once a week commenting on such things as class projects, class discussions, other blogs, and the blogs of my class mates. Enjoy!
