Article Title: What You Need to Know About WordPress Events

Article Description/Summary: Article on WordCamps, WordPress Meetups, and 
WordPress events. The article must include links to sources for more 
information and descriptions of the differences between these different events. 

It would be nice to include information on not just where to find these events, 
and what to do when you get there, but also on how someone can have a WordPress 
event in their community.

Confused as to your status on this. "Edit" means that an editor has given it 
back to you with revisions to be made. Did you mean to change it to "Review" 
because it's ready to be reviewed by the editors?

Above I have pasted in the information that should be in this article.  You are 
part way there, but need a few 
more written details.

I apologize if this was a work in progress,  There is a bit of mixed message 
being sent.  On WP Site it is set as a draft which indicates that it is not 
ready to be reviewed, but here is shows as needing to be reviewed.  It is 
important to change your submission from draft to pending when it is ready as 
well as changing it here to review.

One more thing I forgot to add, the picture always needs to be set to 
"attached" NOT "media file"  when adding it. This is an option when you upload 
the picture.  It is on the same screen as things like title or size.  You may 
have to erase and reload to get this option.

Hi there,You should not have just clickable website links. It should have a 
description with the link as a couple words. Not just the a title and then a 
list of websites.(we did what I said in class) Take this further and add 
pictures and descriptions. Don't forget to add tags to your article.

I posted the article. Hope everyone likes it. This whole article thing is so 
dang confusing. I hope to get some answers about making this whole thing easier 
on everyone who is attempting the articles as much as the editors. See you all 
tomorrow.

I'm sorry if you didn't get the answers you need to make this easier. Did you 
read through the information on ClarkWP on Canvas and on the Wiki here? The 
editors went through the process and printed out instructions for everyone and 
handed them out in class, too, to help. 

I'm also sorry that I didn't get onto this one faster as you appeared to have 
an handle on it earlier. Clearly you don't. You've got a lot of people here to 
help you, so here is the first step. 

I've put the article back into draft and I'm setting this back for the status 
for you to edit. The article is incomplete.

Think of these articles like essays and class papers. You must demonstrate you 
clearly know what you are talking about, that you've done due diligence in the 
research and work. 

This is a great article to choose. It appears to be simple, but it is an 
introduction to the WordPress Community, a critical part of the class and the 
WordPress and web publishing industry. I was looking forward to this being in 
the class notes for next quarter to help the students learn more about how 
these work, and encourage them to get involved in the community. 

While you had the basic information there, it is oddly presented and not enough 
to meet the standards of the assignment and the article request. 

We need to know what the differences are between WordCamps and WordPress 
Meetups. The reader must know why they should attend both and what the 
expectations of the experience should be. They need to have links to more 
information about these events, and how they can join or get involved. 

You've barely scratched the surface and have not defined either well, or 
supported the purpose of the article and the website. 

Also, all the links were set to open in a new window or tab. This violates web 
standards and is not permitted in this class or on the magazine, so points off 
for that. 

Please contact me directly if you do not "get this" and let me know how I can 
help.

I am thinking that I am ready for review and ready for the publishing of this 
article. Sorry for all of the laziness on my part I have been really slammed 
with lots of other homework. Thanks for taking it slow with me.
