Hello TShiroMGA I look forward to seeing what topic you select as your subject. Best of luck to you! Mightymize (talk) 19:21, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello @TSchiroMGA: Hi Timothy I enjoyed reviewing your journal. It actually helped me to correct some things about my journal. I just figured out how to put a heading and edit a entry. The wikiedu is also a big help! Hope you have a great semester!--- —Acm2625 (talk) ---Amanda

Hi @TSchiroMGA:! Pleasure to meet you! I enjoyed reading your journal so far. It seems you're having fun and doing a great job getting ready to work in Wikipedia this semester. I'm looking forward to working with you and learning together! 1-800-OWLZ (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

OK, you're being bold. I like it! Let me help a bit, if I may?

First, excuse me for posting this here rather than under your post. It just seemed easiest.

Take a look at your entry. I understand that you are trying to make it usable and perhaps scannable — way to practice what you've been reading! However, do you think you were successful? How do you like the overall look of the post? Is there a better way to do it? Hint: Subheaders?

Again, way to practice using references. There are certain ways to use the same reference more than once without having to repeat it. Could you find another way? You just copied and pasted; do you know how I know? Hint: a misspelling. I would also have a clear references section for the page. This is a bit of a challenge in your journal, but doable.

What's the difference in these two links?

1. Macon Downtown Airport
2. Macon Downtown Airport

Which is correct? Why?

Be sure to proofread for spelling and typos. Revise your sentences, too.

Don't think of my response as a criticism or let it dissuade you from trying new things. This is a learning process, and those who try and make mistakes (I make a lot of them) are the ones who eventually become great editors. Let me know if you have questions, and keep up the good work (and commenting)! —Grlucas (talk) 20:24, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

@Grlucas:

Dr. Lucas, thank you for your analysis. I will first attempt to answer your question regarding the two links to the Macon Downtown Airport.

According to Wikipedia:Tutorial/Wikipedia links, the first link format indicates a web page that is external to Wikipedia while the second link format indicates that the link points to an internal Wikipedia page.TSchiroMGA (talk) 04:22, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@TSchiroMGA: OK, good. Which version should you have used on your journal post? (Hint: it's still incorrect). And you do not need to supply a footnote to an article you link to on Wikipedia. This is overkill. —Grlucas (talk) 14:16, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@Grlucas: Dr. Lucas: I believe that I should have used the second version on my journal post because the links are to internal Wikipedia pages. Per best practices, links that are to internal Wikipedia pages should be inline with the text and not appear again as references in the same article. I think that I have now discovered why it was not working originally. I was using an incorrect URL and linking the content as if it were an external link instead of an internal one like it actually is. Also, my URL was wrong because of a syntax error. I have since corrected it and also improved clarity by linking to both Macon and then the Macon Downtown Airport. This helps in case a reader does not know where Macon is or what it is. Please let me know if I still need to correct something in the article. Thank you for your time.-TSchiroMGA (talk) 06:55, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

@Grlucas: Dr. Lucas: I went ahead and improved readability for the Article Evaluation by adding in subheaders to break up the content. I also added an internal link to the article's Talk Page. Further, I attempted to add a dedicated References section. I will try to maintain it as the page evolves. Thank you for your time in analyzing my analysis.-TSchiroMGA (talk) 07:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

@TSchiroMGA: It's looking much better. Way to go! Keep working, you'll be an expert in no time. —Grlucas (talk) 14:16, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
