Welcome to the Wikipedia project timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia research project option for our course. If you decide to opt-in for this project, you will be expected to follow and complete the milestones described below.
Here, we are attempting to break down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
If you opt-in, you'll also get a chance to interact with our Wikipedia Content Expert throughout the assignment. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To learn a bit more about the project and to decide if you want to opt-in, review the following handouts:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Choose an article in the Category:Black Lives Matter article list (or possibly another on Wikipedia that you think is relevant to the course). Read through it, thinking about ways to improve the language, such as fixing grammatical mistakes. Then, make the appropriate changes. You don’t need to contribute new information to the article.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
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.
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?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
(If you're working in a group, you must do this assignment individually.)
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!
It's the final week to develop your article.
Consider the following questions as you reflect on your Wikipedia assignment:
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
