Journey through Wikipedia (1)

Who would of thought that posting an edit to Wikipedia would be so hard?!!?!?  I guess I picked a page that is highly monitored…  I’m about to pull my hair out!!!! Oh! And let me find out I know who this SudoGhost person is who keeps deleting my entries…. Ughhh!!! So frustrating! L
So, this has been my journey so far:
Typed up my entry in school, decided not to post it because I wanted to make sure I had enough time to deal with any unforeseen problems.  (Good thing I did this!!!)
I ended up posting my entry 3 times, because I thought you had to post your entry first and then post a separate entry for the reference.  Well, apparently not… (I think) Literally, a few seconds after I posted my entries I received this message:  (3 times = 1 for each entry)

Welcome

I’m still not sure I posted the 4th entry correctly.  However this time I added my sources right under my entry.  Before I had entered only one source, now I posted both.  Also, I don’t know if one of my sources might have been a problem since it was written in Portuguese.  I found a loop whole through that by translating the page to English. 
Ok, so I just went to check on my edit again and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! It has been a whole 30 minutes and no sign of SudoGhost anywhere.  Uffff!!! (Maybe he went to sleep since it’s after 11pm.)
Here is a picture I took with my Iphone of my entry: (I knooooowwww it's cut in half... you get the point)

Feeling a bit more confident… J
You lucked out professor, because I was about to start texting you!!! Lol
I will check back on this tomorrow!
Night, night for now!
