This semester, we will discuss how Wikipedia reflects the biases of its authors. With this assignment, you will learn more about these dynamics as you attempt to edit an existing Wikipedia article or create your own. Evaluation of this assignment will be based on 1) completion of all Wikipedia editing training modules 2) your attempt to contribute to Wikipedia, adhering to its guidelines of notability and neutral point of view and 3) a two-page critical reflection on the assignment. Given the strict community-driven standards for contributing to Wikipedia, you will not be graded on whether or not your content sticks.

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Resources:
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

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.
