Project- Modesto

Thought I'd try using my hometown as the base for the wikiversation project.

Not a lot of activity (hey, there was when I was looking it up about a week ago). We'll see what happens. My initial update was to add a bit of info to the previously blank crime section.

Updates!
Still not a lot going on- little bit of chatter about sister cities (is one of them actually a sister county!? stay tuned to find out!), something about bots, blah, blah, blah. Apparently the Modesto featured in Monsters vs. Aliens (the movie from a bit ago) isn't actually like the real Modesto at all. Scandalous. If I'd ever seen the movie I might have a better idea what was meant... not that it matters; none of this matters. I did a little layout work, as it seemed to me that the introduction was a bit bloated. I also cut some people from the list of "famous" resident's or ex-residents.

I have a miraculous plan B to enact if I feel I need to make up some extra BS for the presentation. I've sown a few seeds, but I'll start in earnest tomorrow. Maybe.

More Updates: So I basically started throwing out some highly speculative or subjective ideas into the wiki to see how long they would last for. Things like saying that the low air quality was dangerous to some individuals (is it? I don't know.) or deriding the local newspaper for its lack of real news. Also some negative comments about the shopping scene. Some of them were down in minutes while others lasted a few days. Some are still up, namely that roundabouts were added to ease traffic congestion with mixed results (what does that mean exactly? I don't know.) and that the plans for a new high school are on hold while the budget is "shaky". In actuality I didn't even know there were (are?) plans for a new high school. Hard to say if just a sudden influx of people who cared enough to edit or if the newer statements were just more inflammatory. After that it was just a bit more minor editing of the page, nothing worth noting beyond this much.

I might use this (the changes right before I started) in the presentation. Not sure yet, but I'll put it up here to be safe.
