Overview Of Biolage Creation

So my efforts of attempting to create a Wikipedia article for Biolage have finally ended. Unfortunately, the result was not a successful one. However with this experience as with any, I did learn many things through the process. My first attempt consisted of me just putting down some basic information about Biolage, not having known of a particular format that should be used. My second attempt I then decided to keep the information but also add the link to the official Biolage website. I then checked on the article regularly to see what its fate would be. There was a soon a message that came up saying that the article needed to be further edited, and that it was going to delete it on the basis that it was like an advertisement. I assume this is because I included information about the product line, but that information was essential in an explanation. I made my last attempt yesterday, and I see that the article was already taken down. I definitely think the Wikipedia community saw my user name come up all the times I tried to publish the article and finally said no more.

Although this ending is not the one I forsaw at the beginning of the semester, it was a learning experience none the less. One thing I learned is that there are a lot of neccesary requirements to creating a new article on Wikipedia, and it is not as easy as it looks. One has to deal with copyright issues and proper citations, among other things. Another thing I learned is that Wikipedia community looks down upon articles that they just perceive to be advertisements for a specific brand or company. I do believe that this fact is comforting because the nature of Wikipedia is completely fact-based which neccesitates include objective information from both sides. This knowledge about Wikipedia is something I would have not learned unless I tried to create this article. So instead of including a link to my article (which does not exist) I am adding a link to a Wikipedia article actually about Wikipedia so you can learn about a lot of the things that I learned through this experience: Enjoy
