Assignment 1\~/9-3-08

    add them to the lists below.

 3. Suggest 1 Buffalo-related article that doesn't exist yet

    at one of this week's "Featured Articles" on the Main Page, and ending 
    at Kevin Bacon.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Hoffman

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bacon

 2. Make 5 productive edits to articles - they can be grammar or 
    spelling fixes, formatting, vandalism reverting, whatever.

Assignment 3\~/9-17-08

 1. Wikify an article from Category:All pages needing to be wikified.

Assignment 4\~/9-24-08

 1. Add a reference to an article. You can add some new information to 
    an article, and include a citation for it, or add a reference for 
    some existing, unsourced text.
 2. Make at least 5 other productive edits.

Assignment 5\~/9-29-08

 1. Find a (likely) copyright problem; e.g. a clear copyright 
    violation, something that should be "fair use" but isn't labeled as 
    such, or something with an unclear copyright status. It can be an image 
    or text. Just list it at the bottom of page for now; we'll discuss 
    how they're dealt with later.

Assignment 6\~/10-01-08

 1. Upload an image to Wikipedia or to Commons. Make sure the image has 
    all the necessary source & license information, and a useful description. 
    It can be an image you create, or one you find somewhere.

 2. Add an image either to a Wikipedia article, or to a gallery on Commons. 
    It should be appropriate for the article or gallery that you add it to. 
    It can be the image you uploaded, or a different one that's already 
    here somewhere.

Assignment 7\~/10-08-08

 1. Find a reference book that would qualify as a "reliable source" 
    (an actual, physical book, in the library or elsewhere). Use it to add 
    some new, relevant information to an article (roughly a paragraph). 
    Be sure to cite the book properly. Be sure not to "copy & paste" from 
    the book.

 2. Begin to identify a larger text or media project that you will work 
    on, preferably either Buffalo-related or using significant local
    resources. E-mail me your plan.

Assignment 8\~/10-15-08

 1. Help organize some Buffalo-related material (e.g. categorizing articles,   
    adding to lists, linking articles, creating image categories).

 2. Make at least 10 distinct edits (total).

Assignment 9\~/10-22-08

 1. Take at least 2 encyclopedic, quality photos of a boring or ordinary  
    subject (no living things, art, or buildings). Upload them to Commons,  
    make sure they have proper descriptions, categories, etc. Add one to an  
    article if possible.

 2. Organize 5 or more images that are already on Commons - add categories to  
    uncategorized images (see Commons:Category:Media needing categories), or  
    add images to galleries (with captions), or add descriptions to images 
    that lack them.

Assignment 10\~/10-29-08

 1. Begin work on your first larger project (article or media)

Assignment 11\~/11-23-08

 1. Complete one of your major projects

 Assignment 12\~/12-15-08

 1. Complete major projects (total of 2 articles + 1 media project)

 2. Make at least 2 edits contributing to behind-the-scenes, community areas: 
    DYK, FAC, FPC, Reference desk, ... (anything not in the main article or 
    talk spaces)

 3. Make an edit to a foreign language wikipedia (or foreign langage wikinews 
    or wiktionary). E-mail a link to your edit, since it won't show up on 
    your contribs here.

 4. Provide 1 good, freely-licensed or PD image (or other media) for a 
    Buffalo-related article that has none; or an image of a notable person 
    visiting Buffalo, whose article has none. This must be separate from your 
    main media project. Some specific goals:
