- In class - Introduction to the Wikipedia assignment
Welcome to your Wikipedia assignment's course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for your Wikipedia assignment, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.
Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.
Read:
- Editing Wikipedia, pages 1–5 (you also got a paper copy of this in class on Tues.)
- Assignment - Get started on Wikipedia
To do:
- Join this course page using the enrollment link your instructor sent you (if you can see this, you did it!)
- Create a wikipedia account off campus. If you can't do this off campus, let Prof. Goguen know! To prevent spammers, Wikipedia puts a limit on how many people can create a new account in the same place in the same day. So you all won't be able to create an account on campus in the same day.
- Check out the training modules "Wikipedia Policies" and "Sandboxes, Talk Pages, and Watch Lists"
- In class - Thinking about Wikipedia
- Milestones
By Sunday, Feb 27th, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
