Article Improvement and Restructuring

[edit]

Greetings fellow Wikipedians -- I've been reviewing this article and want to propose some updates to enhance its accuracy, readability, structure, and compliance with Wikipedia guidelines. Here are the broad strokes:

  1. Update links and citations: Parts of the article lack up-to-date references, and there appears to be overuse of external links, with a few redirecting to Facebook. Per WP:EL, these external links to social media can be removed with new and more reliable ones added in their place. The article is also due for a link review to avoid Wikipedia:Link rot. This process will introduce opportunities for contributors to add more timely and credible sources on the subject, since most of its references were added in the 2010s.
  2. Restructure section organization: To improve the article's flow, readability, and organization, I propose restructuring it based on the outline below, which will help align the article with Wikipedia’s Manual of Style, improves its credibility and professionalism, and hopefully enable iterative contributions from a wider Wikipedia community going forward.

Suggested Article Outline
1. Introduction/Lead
2. Historical Background

  • Origins and development
  • Growth and membership expansion

3. Technical Infrastructure

  • Open-source components
  • Custom features and plugins

4. Pedagogical Roles and Uses

  • Faculty and student engagement
  • Academic tools and projects

5. Grants, Awards, and Recognition
6. Impact and Community Contributions

  • Blogs and groups
  • User-generated content
