Revised Contribution
Due: Monday, April 1st 4:00 pm
The next step for your Wikipedia contribution is to revise your peer workshop contribution in response to classmates and Wikipedia user feedback.
As this assignment is an intermediate step in the overall assignment, students who produced more polished work for the initial contribution will have less work than students whose contributions need more work or who changed their overall plans for the entry.
At this stage, you may consider nominating your article for Good Article Status: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_articles ). If you opt to seek Good Article status you must remove the nomination at the end of the semester if your article is unreviewed or commit to following up on the review after the end of the semester. (Not responding to reviews provided by Wikipedia editors to Good Article review nominations is disrespectful of the time the editors put into their reviews and suggestions.)
Good Articles are articles that meet a high quality standard and have been approved by members of the Wikipedia community. If you choose this route, you will self-nominate your article for Good Article review and a Wikipedia editor may eventually provide your article with a review and feedback. The independent Wikipedia review process may take weeks or months and therefore achieving Good Article status is not required for the course.
First, peruse the Good Article Criteria found here: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria ). Then go to the Good Article Nominations page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations) and follow the on-screen instructions for “How to Nominate an Article.” Once your nomination is complete, take a screenshot of your talk page with your good article nomination banner. Save this as <LastName> GoodArticleNomination.pdf. Your efforts in nominating your article (if appropriate) will be taken into account in your final project grade.
Submission Instructions: Deadline: 1 April 2013 4:00pm
Please submit the following 3 items to OWL-Space by Monday, April 1st, 4:00pm:
If you have multiple PDFs reflecting the parts of the same item, label each file as follows: <LastName>RevisedContribution1.pdf; <LastName>RevisedContribution2.pdf, etc.
Be sure to include page numbers (in Word documents) and to proofread and double-space all text, except the outline, which may be single-spaced. For PDF entries, be sure the font size is legible. Points will be deducted for items that do not follow these instructions.
NOTE: Creating Screenshots of parts of an Article (only for cases where highlighting is not practical).
If the page you are viewing has unnecessary information, please use a selected screenshot instead of a full screenshot as this will make the image larger and, therefore, more legible.
