First tasks[edit]

Sglammela, You have completed most of the tasks!  Partly done You just need to edit your user page and add some wikilinks to articles in Wikipedia, such as University of Southern Indiana. The tutorial, or Wikipedia:Training/For_students, should help you get started. It's very easy once you get going. Once you've edited your page your User:Sglammela link in signature will change from red to blue. Crtew (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Review[edit]

Overall, you've added a picture and a map, but the map still needs the location of exactly where he was killed in relation to Mogadishu. Also, the "Career" and "Personal" sections seem to repeat themselves. I believe getting his Master's Degree in Canada belongs in the "Personal" section because it involves a part of his life that hasn't become is career, yet. See if you can find any more information on his personal life as well as what he did in his career before his death. Overall, your article is solid and objective, but needs more information and facts.

You're page is good; but needs more details. Try to find personal history ie was he married, have children? Did he do anything else besides report? Focus on the impact. What made his reporting so important? How did he impact the commmunity with his information that he would talk about? I think you are on the right track, just keep filling in the blanks that you have. You can also go to Lexis Nexis to get more articles that may lead you to more information.
