Hey everyone, I jumped the gun a bit by creating the page tonight. The Headbands of Hope website has plenty of links from a myriad of sources, but it seems that half of the links are currently broken, nonexistent, or link to an insubstantial amount of information. Not to worry, though! Here are a few pages that seem great for now:

And as for the format of the page, maybe we should work for a general overview of the company by Friday for the stub. I'm figuring that we can base the model for this page on this microsoft article.

Is the Four Diamonds Fund something Headbands of Hope is still donating to, or was it a temporary fundraiser? Sunkist 2013 (talk) 21:29, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One last edit (sorry); the headband and $1 have been a staple of the organization since its conception in 2012. -Aside: paralleling the Microsoft article, we have a short general overview of Headbands, a brief history (much like Microsoft), and the "social responsibility" subsection is noteworthy and equivalent to Microsoft's "culture."

Good to see this article off and running! FYI: Standard practice on talk pages is to indent each reply. Just begin the line with one or more colons (one more than the person before you). I implemented this above so you can see what I mean. Makes it easier to keep track of where different comments begin/end. --Ryan McGrady (talk) 03:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE: Hey everyone, I removed the "Social Responsibility" subsection after realizing that there wasn't much else to discuss; I spoke in class with McGrady on Monday and he advised doing so if there wasn't more to contribute, so please don't undo the edit unless there is something more to add. Also, I added a "marketing" subsection, which parallels microsoft's article and has plenty of information, I believe. Wolfpackchristopher (talk) 06:13, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So I'm thinking that if we don't find much information for Headwear of Hope, we can just move that info to the marketing section. We could talk about how she tries to be inclusive of all children with cancer by reaching out to boys, etc. Thoughts? Sunkist 2013 (talk) 02:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey guys I was thinking can we put the exact mission statement in the article in like a box or something and directly quote Jessica? It is not long and we would obviously cite it...I don't know if there is rules against that, but I think it would give good length to our page.I just noticed that I have used a source that has already been used but I don't know how to attach it to the original one. Will someone correct it for me/tell me how to do it? --Rcor123 (talk) 11:33, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the quote box would be a good idea, so long as our page does not have too many boxes on it. If someone knows how to add it, they can see how it looks. Also, I fixed the source error for you. Sunkist 2013 (talk) 02:04, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Remember to only hyperlink terms and phrases the FIRST TIME they appear in the article. Also, did we ever get a photo of Ekstrom? Sunkist 2013 (talk) 12:38, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Can anyone find anything to put in "What Links Here?" I can't think of anything. Sunkist 2013 (talk) 13:14, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great info overall! Really informative and is comprehensive of the organization as a whole

Link Tom Shoes in the Production section Also what do you mean by the Tom Shoe's style of delivery? Expand?

Consider making Headwear of Hope its own sub section

Thank you for the input! Weeks ago, we concluded as a group that Headwear of Hope doesn't have a sufficient amount of information to justify its own subheading, but I have linked Tom's Shoes and expanded on the style of delivery. Wolfpackchristopher (talk) 21:22, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Probably should link the first "non-profit organization" to the page about NPOs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFranchise15 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If possible, it would be useful if a picture with the company's logo or one of them delivering a headband was uploaded.

You should probably include Ekstrom's first name in the mission section since it's the first time mentioning her(other than the text box at the top).

Aside from getting a picture, I have edited the article to rectify these problems accordingly. Thank you. Wolfpackchristopher (talk) 00:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
