For my extra credit assignment I chose to contribute to the Wikipedia page of Rick Reilly. Rick Reilly is a sportswriter who is most commonly for his writing on the back page of sports illustrated from 1985-2007. I chose to contribute to his page because he is my favorite Sportswriter and I love the style with which he writes.
At First I struggled with this assignment. The first two contributions I made were taken down within a day. After contacting the sitemaster at Wikipedia I learned that I needed to be less opinionated with my contribution so I decided to take one last shot. In my final attempt I made a cobntribution that was based on fact and I used examples from his writing to backup everything I said. I posted my final contribution recently and it has not yet been taken down. Although I did not make it the full 7 days I am still very happy with what I did. I think my contribution gives readers an in depth view of the way Rick writes and feels. It is for this reason that I am proud of my post and am confident that it will remain on the site forever.
