Documentation of Hip Hop culture's aesthetic, social, and political development from its late 60s/early 70s Bronx-based quotidian urbanity to its now-global reality has consistently marginalized girls, women, and queer individuals. With a feminist lens attentive to these dynamics in Hip Hop culture, we developed with gender and sexuality at the center of analysis.
Work is DUE ANYWAY! The new date for the edit-a-thon if you want to participate is 3/16 9-3pm.
On Wednesday March 7th, we will begin our Wikipedia learning adventure at the Art + Feminism Edit-a-thon.
Welcome to our Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project. This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia. New training modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade.
Our course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
We will spend the entire class time at the Edit-a-thon training and doing some editing, so settle in!
Your "to do" list for today:
Pages to edit:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account. All students should have taken class time to get started in Wikipedia AND make their first Wiki edit!
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to the course and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
You'll want to find or create an appropriate photo, illustration, or piece of video/audio to add to an article.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:
It's time to choose an article and assign it to yourself.
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
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. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
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.
Write a reflective essay (2–4 pages) on your Wikipedia contributions.
Consider the following questions as you reflect on your Wikipedia assignment:
