To do:
By Sunday, Feb 27th, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
If you wish to, your project for the Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon can be translating articles into different languages. Check out this training module if you're interested in doing that.
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
