== Simple list of accomplishments for today ==

Alright, I began today by going through Ford source categories on Commons and inserting photos into relevant Wikipedia articles. The following articles now have new Ford-provided images in them (listed in chronological order of edits): [[:en:Betty Ford|Betty Ford]] (multiple images), [[:en:whistle stop train tour|whistle stop train tour]], [[:en:observation car|observation car]], [[:en:1976 Republican National Convention|1976 Republican National Convention]], [[:en:Gerald Ford|Gerald Ford]], [[:en:Gulfport, Mississippi|Gulfport, Mississippi]], [[:en:Marine One|Marine One]], [[:en:bumper sticker|bumper sticker]], and [[:en:Sino-American relations|Sino-American relations]]. Then, I moved along and did some more intensive work with cabinet members. Using the Ford Digital Library (as well as a second source from USDA.gov), I was able to expand and add references (formerly there were no references) to the article on [[:en:John Albert Knebel|John Albert Knebel]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Albert_Knebel&diff=546321682&oldid=541296830 see improvements here]). Then, I found that article on [[:en:Edward H. Levi|Edward H. Levi]] had plenty of citations, but all in the super-ugly and not very useful "raw URL" form, so I fixed it by using the ''[[:en:Template:Cite web|cite web]]'' template for each of the references ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_H._Levi&diff=546340387&oldid=540838853 see improvements here]). I was also planning on continuing on Wikisoure, but I'm out of time this week. I also had my informational interview with Geir today, which went very well, and he even seemed to enjoy it. Anyway, I hope these improvements today were successful in your eyes. You can already see the impact of the image placements in [https://toolserver.org/~magnus/ts2/glamorous/?mode=category&text=Media%20contributed%20by%20the%20Gerald%20R.%20Ford%20Presidential%20Library%20and%20Museum these statistics], although the further the Wikisource project develops the more it will dominate the stats. Have a great weekend! [[User:Michael Barera|Michael Barera]] ([[User talk:Michael Barera|talk]]) 18:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
