Assignment: Creating an Account & User Page
Due Date: Wednesday January 23, 2013
Wikipedia has created an online training module meant specifically for university students as an introduction to Wikipedia editing. Complete this training module now and feel free to refer to it over the course of the semester. The training module is found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Training/For_students.
The sandbox feature of Wikipedia is a place where you can practice Wikipedia syntax and editing so that your initial work will not be deleted before you have had time to bring it up to the standards described in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style). You will create a sandbox inside your user space, write the first few paragraphs of your contribution, and add proper, reliable citations prior to developing it further on the live Wikipedia namespace. (Note: you should not use the sandbox for revisions to existing articles.)
This course has a page on Wikipedia with assignment due dates, descriptions, tips, and helpful resources. Visit this page and familiarize yourself with its content. You must add your Wikipedia username to the student list to receive full credit for this assignment. To add your username, follow the instructions below:
