== Ball State Project Page Up ==

Hi Pat, our ] is now up. I think you are supposed to be represented on it somewhere so I'll leave that up to you! We'll get started on topic ideas tomorrow, after which I'll try to have groups coalesce around the most promising. I hope to share topic ideas in the course Talk page, but if we do that somewhere else I'll let you know. I'll also let you know when Pathfinders are appointed. Cheers —] (]) 21:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
:Hi Pat; We gathered into groups this past Thursday, and I see several have already been in touch with you below. I've gathered groups and their tentative topics on the ] so there will be one place to go for both you and me to see who is doing what. The sections are meeting again on the project on Thursday Feb 28, then Spring Break intervenes. By Thursday I'm hoping each group can have a solid proposal for a topic, having researched potential sources more completely. I'll ask them to post a more complete description of what they intend to do along with the possible sources they have found in the pathfinders' sandboxes by the end of the day on Thursday. In the meantime, you'll notice that some topics are more developed than others. Could you take a preliminary look (as time permits) at those that already have a specific article and page identified and see if there are any difficulties or potential pitfalls you can notice right away? If you have any comments it might be good to post them to the pathfinder's sandbox, as that is where they will be doing most of the article work. (Two pathfinders haven't enrolled officially yet--you could put comments for that group right under the section on the Project Talk page.) Sorry to dump a lot at once, and thanks again for helping out. Web -] (]) 23:23, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Pat, my name is Katie and I'm the pathfinder for my group for the ENG 213 Project Page. My group has decided to contribute to the page ].

Hello Pat, My name is Molly and I am the pathfinder for my group in English 213-3.we had decided to contribute to the ] stub page. We intend to rewrite the promotional content so that it is from a neutral point of view. We also plan to do more research and cite information on the page. ] (]) 23:31, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey, we have finished our draft of the page (located in my sandbox) and look forward to hearing your thoughts. ] (]) 20:42, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

===Salutations===
Hey Pat. I'm Veronica, and I'm the pathfinder for our group. We've got five people in our group, so we've decided to majorly expand the ] page, seeing as it's pretty empty right now. We'll be contributing information from at least ten sources. I look forward to working together in the future. ] (]) ] (]) 17:35, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Okay, so we met today and compared sources, most of which are listed in my sandbox. I have three physical books to add to my sources and two people weren't in class, so those sources are not listed. We decided we will structure the page similar to the ] page, with definition and history sections, and then sections describing (more briefly and with better organization than the ethics page) the primary branches of the study of animal ethics. However, as we don't yet have a perfect grasp of what those branches are, we are all going to peruse some basic, more neutral sources over spring break to try to familiarize ourselves with the topic. When we come back, hopefully we will have a better idea and can get some more specific topics and start reading. ] (]) 21:44, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

We've got our rough draft of the ] page up now. It's QUITE rough. A lot of our citations are in like, pseudo-MLA instead of coded into the references section, but we're working on that. A few sections might be missing references as well, but that will be fixed as we go through inserting the references. Aside from that, I think we've got all of our content, except for a few additions to the beginning of the timeline and a little more in the intro, and maybe a bit of shuffling around in the Views section. So yeah. Please give us your thoughts and edits. ] (]) 21:27, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

=== Hello! ===

Hello Pat! My name is Adrianna and I am the path finder for my group in English 213. We are doing ] and I was wondering about how we should go about listing the various religions that fall under the category. Since there are separate wiki pages for most of the religions should we simply make a list and only describe any that do not have a wiki page, or should we make a short summary anyway? Or should we only summarize the direct relation to Earth Religion within each religion?

=== Earth Religion ===

To be honest I think my group is a little lost on exactly how to go about adding to this page. As you said it is a very broad topic. We haven't had many ideas of what to add besides the religions that fall under this category, the ethics surrounding it, and examples of it in popular culture.

:Reading that over again, I may have invented the sea floor. Woods actually says the sediment was deposited on a shelf of what is now north america by river action, more a delta than a sea. I'm always worried when paraphrasing geology stuff because its not an area of expertise - thanks for pointing that one out. As to what we're dealing with 600 mya i don't know, and Woods doesn't give detail. He's the former chief intepreter for the park, but may not be a geologist either. I'll look for some better geology sources, Dawson's original report and Wheeler's study would be the ones I think ... <span style="text-shadow: 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em #DDDDDD">] ]</span> 02:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I missed that it had been repeated elsewhere in the article but I stand by its re-inclusion. It needs to be there for the sake of history, and no edit war can change history. --]]] 03:17, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
:Well, no, it's not; this line " Police raided Clark's home over a potentially lucrative casino licence handed to one of the premier's pals." is completely wrong, if that's what canada.com (same media chain as the ''Sun'') said, then it's a further demonstration of why the MSM are not reliable sources. Pilarinos was a ''neighbour'' whose kids played with Clark's kids, and that's where the story begins, he was not one of the Premier's "pals"....which also is unencyclopedic language.] (]) 03:53, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

You're doing such a great job on Glacier that I thought I'd suggest ] be your next project; ] could probably use some cleanup, but Manning is "thin on the ground". We should probably do an assessment list of park articles as to what is most priority for upgrading, starting with major ones; and yes of course ] is barely more than a stub so far....] (]) 03:48, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

::The various waterfall articles around there have good writeups/cites too, or some of them do, also the more noted climbing peaks probably also, I haven't looked........] and ] come into the equation also; not sure if Field is in the park or on its edge though; Mount Stephen House was another like Canyon House or the Louise-Banff-Jasper triumvirate; very unique looking too, tragically lost to fire.....and yeah a survey of parks articles very useful; Tweedsmuir which was the very first certainly needs a lot of work; haven't really looked at Wells Gray; a "to go with" for Manning is ], which you Pfly would enjoy partly for its remoteness; the Canadian Paysaten isn't a park unlike across the border in the US, it's to the south of Princeton I think.......another major and kinda important park is the ] whatever its proper name that link should work, and of course Strathcona on Vancouver Island. Many smaller parks are just campgrounds but some have significant history or geographic import; e.g. ], which is adjacent to ], which I've let WP:MINING know about (it's the site of the first claims of the Fraser gold rush in the area and quite the story overall). My thinking was the big parks, given the number of smaller ones that are relatively insignificant and also the older ones vs the minor newer ones (Stein is a major newer one, as is the South Chilcotin one whose name I despite but that's a long story); the most visited provincial parks are, other than Seymour and Cypress - Garibaldi, Golden Ears, Manning and Wells Gray, I'm pretty sure of that, plus Strathcona I guess......some of the real remote ones could use highlighting though it'll be a lot of research e.g. ] or one similarly remote but also storied....] (]) 18:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

== meatpuppet on Dix now.... ==

LOL this just gets more asinine all the time see ] and on Bearcat's and MastCell's pages.........I'm of a mind that Wikipedians should issue a press release about the misreporting and also the targeting of me, and about the ongoing attempts to use Misplaced Pages as a political attack ad.......there's POV deletions on the CClark article all the time, that doesn't get an article of course because the ''Sun'' itself is one giant POV deletion. Note the links to Glavin and Tsakumis articles on ] (which I'm tempted to start today but my SEO work is backed up)....that the ''Sun'' and its evil twin are the only news outlets treating this as a matter of major concern is a clear indicated that they're on the same side as ].....at some point, on my own blog or another friend's blog, if not here, a "list of reasons why the ''Sun'' is NOT a reliable source" is gonna get started; actually someone in blogspace has one out there already.......anyways back to writing about saffron extract and the use of equipoise in the cockfighting biz in the Phils........my wiki experience has set me up ideally for writing SEO articles ;-). Anyways I reported it to Bearcat and MastCell and WP:CANTALK, I"m sure action will be taken shortly......not by Mr Lee, who precipitated all this, and whose article is being used ''as if factual'' and the lies are actually being made part of the new copy........] (]) 02:29, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
