M2 Tool Exploration

Since my topic was essentially "Is going to school for photography worth it in this digital age"
Being that I found no information on this topic because it is really unchartered territory I decided to create my own wiki page. I followed the rules... I created my account. I did search to see if there was a post pertaining to college and photography in one page and found there wasn't one so I ultimately decided to go this route.

As for the content I included I tried to remain neutral as this really again is uncharted territory as there is no page that honestly goes into photography and schooling. But the truth is that there is so many pure FACTS out there that really can impede decisions on whether someone should go to school for photography or not. Just no hard notoriable information although I do think a fashion website where it talks about someone in the actual industry is notable but to each their own. For instance Money. Money is a huge deciding factor in whether or not a student can attend school for photography or school in general for that matter. That would be a deciding factor in whether someone would attend school for photography or not. But its not notable although it is common sense but again to each their own.

As for sources it was encouraged to reference other wikipedia pages in your own page which I did do. When speaking of the history of photography I did reference to the history of photography wiki page as I though it would be relevant to back up my knowledge with pure old fashion wiki fact.
Yes although my blog was denied I did learn about how serious wikipedia takes their posts. I have also gone through the other blogs so far posted and have learned that they also have had issues with being deleted/denied. 
I also would like to think I was smart and fortunate enough to take screenshots of my posted before it was deleted.
