Welcome to your Wikipedia project's timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for the rest of the summer. Please feel free to progress through these steps as slowly or as swiftly as you like. Our goal, however, is to have the pages updated by the end of July. If you progress through these steps quickly, you will have the opportunity to update more than once page on Wikipedia this summer.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
