Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for our 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.
Each online training is expected to be completed individually. You can track your status on the Students tab above.
All other assignments have been clearly denoted as either individual or group assignments.
Our 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.

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
As a class, we will use the article evaluations we did and the references we found to map out 2-3 new sections that we want to add to the article and 1-2 other existing sections that we wan to update. We will split into groups to help draft the content to be added to those sections.

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
Your group should have some feedback from other students and possibly your instructor. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
Once you've made improvements to your draft based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Creating a new section?
Updating an existing section?
Warning! If we all try to make our edits at the same time (aka 10pm on Wednesday night) we might run into edit conflicts and have trouble saving. Work with your group to find a unique time throughout the week to move your draft live.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your section - now that it's live, based on suggestions and your own critique.
GROUP ASSIGNMENT
