Welcome to our Wikipedia project timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for our course.
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.
Before lab next week you must complete the following:
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You can work with a partner during this phase of the assignment, but you both need to take notes in your sandboxes about your learnings.
This part of the project should be completed individually in order to get everyone familiar with what it's like to edit "LIVE"
Choose an article from the
Category:Ecology stubs list or the
Category:Environment stubs list. Read through it, thinking 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 yet.
(Hint: if the article is locked or semi-protected, you will not be able to edit it. Try to pick a short, underdeveloped article topic.)
Resource:
Editing Wikipedia page 6
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation and making a small improvement with new information to an article.
Work with a partner to add 1-2 new sentences, backed up with a citation to a reliable source, to one or both of the articles you copyedited. You can draft your work in your sandbox first before moving it live.
Resources:
You'll want to find or create an appropriate photo, illustration, or piece of video/audio to add to an article.
