Strong start

[edit]

Lmhorn1, Good work! You're off to a strong start by creating your account, editing your user page and sending me a message on my talk page. You'll receive your assigned journalist shortly. Crtew (talk) 05:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your page is a model for other students to follow!

[edit]

Lmhorn1, I've selected your page as a model for other students to follow. You did your work in a timely manner, you did it right, and I think your bio is appropriate! Keep up the good work, Crtew (talk) 16:39, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

María Isabella Cordero

[edit]

Cordero exemplifies what has been happening in Chihuahua and she is a woman who crossed from journalism to public relations. There is a lot of information out there on María Isabella Cordero, who at one time was a local Televisa news presenter but later shifted to public relations, however the material is in Spanish. If you're comfortable with that and the translations, it's ok:

  • LAHT (English)[1]
  • El Paso Times (English)[2]
  • KTSM , Channel 9, NBC affiliate (El Paso) (English)[3]
  • El Heraldo de Chihuahua[4]
  • Vanguardia[5]

What do you think? Crtew (talk) 17:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]


I would still like to use Cordero for my assignment. Google has a "translate this page" option so I think I will be ok with the translations :) Lmhorn1 (talk) 00:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

[edit]
Teahouse logo
Hello! Lmhorn1, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!
I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 16:16, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and infobox

[edit]

Lmhorn1, She worked for the Chihuahua Televisa channel (Televisa is a network) and the local branch of the Canaco. I've added two Spanish sources to clarify. Also she was not a journalist at the time she was murdered. The violence has also touched public relations, which is unusual. You might want to refocus your notability around that. She was known for both. Besides the corrections to the infobox and notability, keep working on the main parts. I'll look back at the notability statement at a later stage before submission.

Khbarton peer review

[edit]

The article you have done is very interesting. The amount of detailed information used in the personal, career, and death portions is impressive.

The suggestions are just questions I had after reading the article, hope they help. Why is Chihuahua considered the most violent state? Who declared war on the drug cartels? Why are journalists, and now PR people, being killed? Khbarton (talk) 01:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!

[edit]

Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
