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.
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:
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.
First, review page 6 of your
Editing Wikipedia guidebook. Then, choose an article. Select a stub article on Wikipedia to copyedit and then improve. You can browse all the Stub Categories on Wikipedia
here to find an article to work on. Once you've found one you want to work on, assign it to yourself on the Students tab above.
Second, read through it, doing an article evaluation like you learned last week. While you read, think about ways to improve the language, such as fixing grammatical mistakes. Then, make the appropriate changes. You don’t need to contribute new information to the article.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation and making a small change to improve your article. Think back to when you did your article evaluation and copyedit last week. What small bit of information could you add to your article to improve it?
At the minimum, you should add 1-2 new sentences to your article and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
