Fictional Blog
My fictional blog is going to be about a funeral director who is new to the business. I haven't given him a name just yet but I will write about his first few weeks on the job including body pickups, etc. I know this sounds a tad-bit morbid but I thought it could be funny.

Wiki from scratch......so fresh and so clean clean
As stated below, for my WIKIPEDIA article from scratch I chose the topic of Salt Lake's own SLUG Magazine. Everything thing went pretty well. It was a bitch trying to get that image up. I am still having trouble trying to scale the image down. I am pretty sure they are going to delete it soon so enjoy it while you can.
Here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_magazine

New Wikipedia article
For my new wikipedia article I am currently working on a page for SLUG (Salt Lake Under Ground) Magazine, a free magazine based out of downtown. I have not yet made an edit but am working on a basic bio.
The bio will include a history section, current status of the company, artists the magazine has covered and what a current issue contains.

Major Wiki Edit
For my major "wiki edit" I looked a lot closer at the page I did my minor edit on. I thought of ways I could fix some of the structure, if there was any grammar to change, and if I could add anything.
I ended up adding two sentences (additionally to the one I originally made), italicized a few terms that needed it, added some internal and external links, and fixed wrong terminology (Christian to Born Again Christian). I like it but wish I could have added a picture...so hard if you don't have the rights.

Wikipedia change
I chose to do an edit on a pretty skimpy page. The entry is on Glenn Schwartz, a blues guitarist out of Cleveland whom is a local icon.
I really only added a brief sentence which characterized a typical Schwartz show. I have been to a lot of shows, so I feel this description is OK and unbiased.

Wikipedia Article
Dead Man
The Wikipedia article I chose was on the movie Dead Man, written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. The article seems to be fairly accurate in describing the movie, but lacks details. I intend on adding some important details that could help unfamiliar readers.
