About Me
I am a sophmore and this is my second term of business classes. I spent the last year or so deciding that I wanted to be an accountant. I really enjoy money and I'm not just talking about having it. The concept really interests me. On my free time I like to play guitar; mostly acoustic.
My Wiki Plan
I would like to contribute an organized listing of guitar shops in Corvallis, OR, to the OSU Wiki and also add the pros and cons of each shop. This may be of interest to musicians at our school or those who are coming soon. The pros and cons could address something like; who has the best price for guitar strings?, etc... I would be adding a section to the OSU Wiki's Shopping section. The guitar shops would be just one part of the Instruments shops in Corvallis. Others could post locations and ratings of other instrumental shops. After all current shops are listed, they could still be blogged with reviews and/or hot sales by any user.
Overview of My Wiki Contributions
- The major addition I made to the OSU Wiki was a section on Musical Instruments in the Shopping section located in Corvallis, OR. The internal contribution I made to this section was adding some reviews to the sections that I obtained from specific cited sources. As well as visiting a particular shop and then writing my own review. I also found maps of the shops and used Paint Shop Pro to capture an image and save it as a JPEG. I uploaded the files and pasted them into each shop's section. I cited the link the map was taken from. I emailed the organization to ask permission to use the maps, but I got no reply. I figured that since it is a map, it is already public information. I could be wrong, but I still have the source credited for the image. I made smaller contributions to other pages already created in the OSU Wiki, but the Musical Instruments section was my only new creation.
- I filled out a feedback form from Super Pages requesting, once again, for their permission to use their material. I hope that they oblige.

Interesting idea. I think the overall concept of rating music supply stores in Corvallis would be useful, although I think your idea for specifically guitar shops may be a little too narrow, especially since where are so few visitors to the OSU wiki at this point in time.

I like the amount of effort you put forth in the creation of your wiki page. I like what you've done, so there's not really anything that I can suggest for you to make it better. Good Job.

That sounds like a great idea, I unfortunately don't know how to play the guitar but I am positive that your ideas will provide usefull information regarding the purchase of a guitar here in Corvallis.
