Wikipedia Experience
Blog Assignment 3 Comments »I decided to alter the Wikipedia article of the popular television show The Real Housewives of New York City(RHONY). I went into the edit tab and changed the status from airing to cancelled. I also changed the last air date from present to 08/01/11. I chose 08/01/11 because that was the date of the season finale from the last season. The RHONY is a television program that is showed on Bravo TV, almost everyone who watches television is aware of this series or one of the spin off shows. They take place in different cities; NYC, Atlanta, Orange County, New Jersey, Beverly Hills and Miami. I figured that if I changed something about a popular television program, that has many followers and fans, there would be some kind of interesting result.
The modifications were done on Sunday afternoon, there were no corrections made as of Monday morning. It was interesting to see that my false modifications were not revised. Maybe if I chose a program that had episodes running at this time, there would be a different outcome. It goes to show that if something isn’t happening at the moment, there is a high chance that no one paying attention to it.
