Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
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.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions. (There is no homework associated with it, but I would like you to think about those questions)
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this: (sources and citations training are required; the following exercise is asking you to add a sentence or two and add a citation to a wikipedia article. It is optional but you are encouraged to do it.)
There is no assignment associated with this: these questions are for you to think about.
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources:
Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Note that you may not be completely done with your draft by week 6. This is fine so long as you make progress each week. You can start peer reviewing your classmate's draft (one only) if they have started appearing. Otherwise, wait a few weeks till they start to appear.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
Similar to last week, this week's assignment should be done when applicable.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Content Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
