Last Chance to Vote for the Mahalo Archive of the Week!
OK, so we've received over 20 submissions, seen a lot of pages, given out lots of tips. By 3pm PST the winner(s) will be selected, so if you have yet to vote, go ahead and scroll through the pages and vote "helpful" on the page you think looks the greatest.
===================
Here is your chance to show off all your hard earned work within Mahalo.
Each page on Mahalo is a result of endless labour from individuals like you and me. What we are potentially building are timeless archives of information on every possible topic under the Sun.
Will your Mahalo Page become the absolute go-to information source for that topic? Only time will tell, until then we can highlight some of our greatest work.
How to Play
1. Submit your page (one page only please) as an answer below and explain what you have done to ensure it becomes the greatest page on that topic. Was it new, or was it claimed? It does not matter as long as you explain the work you've done you're page is eligible to win.
2. Vote for as many submission as you like by clicking the "Helpful Answer" Please come back often and vote, even if you are voting for your competition this contest will only work if we have voters.
3. There is M$10 at stake, half will go to that with the most votes (tipped after BA selected), the other half will be rewarded by myself (and perhaps other judges) as we will judge each page that comes in. The same user could potentially win both prizes.
PS: Please don't vote "Unhelpful" on users pages, everybody is trying. And as soon as I get the ability back to see your names, I will be hurt if I see you did it.

I submit the UFO page, an existing Mahalo Results Page which I claimed with an intention to bring it up to date, and I hope I can shed some light on this elusive phenomenon, too:
http://www.mahalo.com/ufo
I have only just begun, so far the following sections have been updated, but are by no means finished yet:
Introduction
The Mahalo Top 7
Featured Video
Fast Facts
UFO Researchers and Writers (more coming soon)
UFO Photographs (very nice collection, take a look)
UFO Videos (still looking for more)
and, last but not least - Recommended Reading, a section that I'm specially proud of. It contains a list of great books, a must read for every serious student of the phenomenon!
All of this is still very much work-in-progress, I'm updating the page daily, adding new material & stuff.
The page is part of three-page project which includes Alien Abductions (another one that I claimed), and Aliens, a page I begun building from scratch yesterday (can you believe it - there was no page on aliens among Mahalo Search Result Pages!)

No bad, right off the bat I noticed a lot of the images are not related.
To Fix this just click the "More" button and you will see a bunch of new photos appear.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3608930163/
Then you can curate the section by delete unrelated images and promoting related images to the top. (Just hover over the images and you'll see the legend)

thanks! I WILL FIX IT :)
Yeay, I fixed it... any more tips to make it MUCH better?
Nice, the images look perfect now. More tips eh... hmmm. Well, just imagine you were searching for Bob Marley? What would you be searching for? Music, information, merchandise? You can rearrage the sections to reflect what the users might be looking for.
You can move sections around by using the legend.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3609032965/
Also, for your featured object, if you click "edit" You can title it and add a description, maybe find some information about the background of the song, that information will appear beside the video and probably impress many readers. Great topic btw, I love Bob Marley..who doesnt

AWESOME... will do!
I have been working hard to make this page great! Trying to find more info and make the page user friendly. Hope you enjoy as I keep Updating
Answers to question on my Page are not colored green and and bold... then the other text after the bolded green is just more facts
@jeffhoard Maybe you could talk to the developers at Mahalo, the images that get selected by default seem to be completely unrelated to the page topic unlike the default videos which are much closer.
I have added and Answered more questions about Bob Marley :) enjoy. (^_^)V
Lol, I am having fun, check my page out, even if you are not voting
@jeffhoard.... re irrelevant pictures....
Another factor is the automatically generated search string for the images. Searching for for Andy Murray seems to find photos about people called Andy and people called Murray. Changing the search string to "Andy Murray" (quotes needed) gets rid of a lot of rubbish.
I have a page about the "The Wire" and was inundated with pictures of bits of wire, wirecutters and the like! :)

RoboDynamics is the first company to commercialize a robotic telepresence solution - where a robot acts as a surrogate for a remote worker to interact better (and more intuitively) with people back at the office.
Not only do I keep this page filled with informative (and fun) facts, but it also touches on a subject that is on the cutting-edge of technology and... let's face it, deals with real *robots*.

I think it's a great stop for information about your company (a pretty cool company at that..robots...really?...really!) I think you'll be able to continue building it out, you always add more text sections about the history and future of the company. You could also add another link section archiving any press mentions.
Also a Featured section would provide a great opportunity to feature a video about your company.. I like this one :D

Whoa there EasyE! only one page in the competition, and tell us why you picked it.
Please change it from unhelpful to helpful!
Changed it to one! I picked it because I really enjoy watching videos by Marina Orlova, and she's an Internet Celebrity who really has influenced many to enjoy learning about word origins.

Good Stuff Dave, just remember in the Top 7 only the Top 7 items can be viewed by visitors... Right now you have about 16 links in there. What you can do is create a "Links" section and put it beneath the top 7 and put your extra links in there.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3609236919/
Also... I don't mean to nitpick, but I don't think a User looking for information about Utah would expect a link to the book of Mormon as the #1 link, or GlennBeck.com as the #3 link.
Perhaps reserve those top links for Official Utah sites?

hmm, I'm also noticing that the entire guide note is centered around the Book of Mormon... I think it might be safe to mention the role of Mormonism in Utah, but that guide note is completely about Mormons?
Jeff has some great tips for you here. I just want to add that you should use your guide note to describe the state of Utah. Move your numbered lists down to their own section, would be a lot easier to read.
Leslie go ahead move sections around. Also include the steps to adding a link section.

Explain how the Blog can be added to the page
I already explained to you how to add links to blogs on your Mahalo Page.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3611661604/
Otherwise, Mahalo is not a blog, it's a Serp (a Search Engine Result) meaning you want to design your pages to be informative and not overly personal.

Jeff, I having a difficult time reading you. Are you warning me to change the content or risk lossing the page? Why shouldn't the page be personal?
It might help if you included the Official site for the state of Utah as the top link in the top 7...and perhaps the official travel site, a link or two to the major tourist attractions, a news article or two on current issues facing the stae, and one link pertaining to Mormons in Utah. If the Mormonism issue is important to you, you could create another section of links that includes all the Mormon links you feel are relevant, and pin that section to the #2 position on the page. That way users looking for information on the state would be able to get the information they needed, and people looking for information on Mormons in Utah would also be served.
We do have a few other pages that pertain specifically to Mormon topics:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (currently unclaimed)
Mormon Endowment Ceremony(currently unclaimed)
Book Of Mormon(currently unclaimed)
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(currently unclaimed)
Joseph Smith(currently unclaimed)
Gordon B. Hinckley(currently unclaimed)

As I've mentioned somewhere else before (I forgot what question...), I've been doing a lot of work on my John Mayer page. It was structured great when I claimed it, but I've added a lot of additional info, cleared out some old gossip, and pictures.
Some of the newest stuff: charity work, personal life, john mayer trio, and some other stuff. I've also added some new links, such as his official Twitter page and things like that. I want it to be the definitive source on John Mayer info, news, and gossip!

Really great job, Demanda!
I would only suggest that you move the MP3's and Featured Video sections all the way up to the top of the page, or, right under Mahalo Top 7, which is a default leading section.

I think this is off to a great start! Remember though your top 7 only needs 7 links, not 8. The left side of the page should be a guide note then fast facts. You can then add as many sections as you want, but you want the first two sections to be Guide note and Fast facts. Your Guide note is a brief description of the page you are creating. If you have any questions please feel free to message me privately.

Great job! Just remember users can only see the first 7 links in your top 7. You might want to drop those last two articles down into another section so the user can see them.
Great Start CP, what I would suggest is instead of pasting all those videos into one feature section, why not give each video their own feature section, then you can give each video a description?
Thanks for the comments and suggestions @lesliec and @jeffhoard. I will try to make it better.
voted helpful: beast1oh1, interzone, buddawiggi
Your off to a great start. Please remember if you copy and paste from another web site you should always use citations (links to your source of information). Don't forget to add more links in your Mahalo Top 7 section.
Good start, but like Lesliec mentioned, your guide is completely copied from other websites, you need to use your own words to describe aquaponics.
This is my very first page on Mahalo: http://www.mahalo.com/psychology.
I only claimed the psychology page a week ago and have made a few alterations already. I'm going to spend a fair bit of time over the next few days really sorting it to where I'm happy with it as a start point. From there it's going to be build, build, build. I want to make this a good comprehensive introduction page to my wonderful field of interest.
Please feel free to make suggestions about it. Being a newbie here, I'd really appreciate a few words of wisdom from you guys.
Take care all :)

That's a great page and you were given a good start because it's been around for awhile on the old Mahalo. What I would suggest is go through all the links already on the page and make sure they are still working and accurate.

Over time you can work on bulking up the guide note by adding new text sections, You could write about the History, the controversies, the breakthroughs in the field. Otherwise, good luck with your page, can't wait to see how it works out!

You're right, this is a great page and does already have some great sites listed on there, as well as other features. I can't believe how lucky I am to have got this page. If all goes well, and I can obtain more pages, I should like to build one around my own field of psychology.

Good page, I notice the Twitter and News sections aren't populating, I wonder if thats a bug of if there just no buzz about this band lol.
Hey Jeff thanks for checking it out. Yeah I don't expect the twitter feed to be too active, but there should be news. I'm trying to figure out how to submit a link for it but it doesn't seem to be working.
Ok, the Twitter feed is working, and the News one is empty because Google News has no history of that term (I checked) so that's why it isn't autopopulating. You *should* be able to "add a link" but right now I can't seem to get that functionality to work either, so I think we found a bug. Leave that section up for now and i'll be sure to report that issue and soon you'll be able to add your news manually
Thanks for looking into those issues. I'm glad to see you are on top of it.

I manage the Boston Red Sox page. I have added a complete history from the Baseball Almanac and an almost complete timeline starting at the year 1900. I updated the top 17 pictures and the Guide Note which could probably use some work.
One thing I'm having a lot of trouble with is finding out how to cite my sources.
How do I edit that?

That section there can not be edited. You can add sources to your sections or fast facts. The fast facts is pretty easy, you just paste your link into where it says citation. The sections and guide notes can be tricky. To leave a citation just use this link to source here

It's probably not on that page because it was a last minute addition, I remember in the Beta version, there were slots to add your reference, but Leslie is right, that is how you add the citation.

I think I've really cultivated a great Top 7, provided some yummy fan images, and of course I put the very amazing trailer front-and-center, along with a category just for the theatrical release date. I'm also glad to have some advance critical response to the movie, for those anticipating its release.

I'm rather proud of my page for The Rutles.
It did not exist until I came along. I'm one of the few people who still actively talk about the Rutles on the internet (they were a common topic of discussion on the internet in the late '90s). I have gathered information from the official Rutles page and the only major Rutles fan-site on the internet, but most of the info on that page comes from the Rutles mockumentary, "All You Need is Cash," which actually gives the fictional history of the group.

I love the topic, I got stuck watching about 10 minutes worth of videos there, It might not be a bad idea to use the "Featured Object" option in the link panel and feature/describe some of the best videos.
My other advice would be to add more headlines to your guide note, its a big block of text. You could potentially split this up into numerous text sections with headlines. (Like "Fictional Career" and "Actual Career" could be two separate text sections in your note)

I am having quite a bit of difficulty fighting the interface. Most of the time I add something and it doesn't show up. Then I add it again and it shows up twice. I'm sure this is some weird caching issue but it does waste a good bit of time.
Also is there some Mahalo excepted way to add screenshots? I mean is there some image hosting service you prefer. I'd use flickr but then it counts against my personal limit. Can you put pictures directly into your text blocks? I mean when illustrating a game it would be helpful but I've not noticed any examples(I've not searched real hard either.)

Yes, I've ran into cache problems as well, my best advice for this is when you make a change, hit CTRL-R (hard refresh) fixed the cache issue 90% of the time.
I think my first critique would be putting your text blocks as sections in the guide note instead of within the link list. On a page like this the left column would be idea for links/images/videos - it's sometimes hard navigating around the ad blocks to read a sentence or two of text. The guide note is for text those blocks will look magnificent on the side.
I also added a video section (you can delete it if you like) it was the first thing I looked for as a curious reader who has never seen the game in action before. A good idea might be finding the best video and using the "featured object" option to feature it. Otherwise, great start, remember to clear your cache when something looks fishy.

Okay, I'll play. My page is for the upcoming game, God of War 3.
http://www.mahalo.com/god-of-war-3
To make my page awesome I tried to add information that people would want: lots of demos, previews and gameplay info. I then worked to achieve the right visual impact by varying links, text and images effectively.
Hopefully you guys like it!

I liked your page quite a bit! I didn't know anything about the game before I visited (though I like video games in general). Now I know! Great job, looks like you've done a lot of hard work!
whatt??

Hello all,
I just claimed How to Use Coupons, http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-use-coupons.
I'm hoping to update it with great information in the next couple of days. I'm a newbie, so this may take a bit more effort to navigate. There is alot of good information already there, but I'm a major couponer and will be adding much more very soon. :)

It's a pretty solid page already, I think for starters I would just go through and make sure all the pre-existing links are quality and remove any that fall below your standard.
I think as you manage it going forward you would want to build out different sections.. Like a link section exclusively dedicated to how to make ice-cream and maybe add a featured video below that section with the best "how to" video.

Here is mine: http://www.mahalo.com/music-genres
What do you think?
It didn't exist, so I had to create it from scratch. I picked this topic because I love music from all genres.
