1)    Find an article that does not seem notable. For example, a list of articles with unclear notability related to Korea is here: https://tinyurl.com/NotabilityKorea and for China, see https://tinyurl.com/NotabilityChina

2)    Carry out the steps explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:BEFORE . If you think the topic is notable (important), make a comment on the article’s talk page explaining why you think so and show it to me.

3)    If you think the article is not notable, start a deletion discussion as explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AFDHOWTO . I recommend enabling the Twinkle gadget to make it easier. Show me your deletion proposal before publishing it.


Today we will learn how to write a good lead (intro/abstract) section for an article.

One of the most important lessons from this class is understanding the concepts of source reliability. Find one or more unreliable sources on Wikipedia and replace it with a more reliable source. Explain on the talk page why you removed a source and why the new source added is better (or you can explain why that source is reliable). Links: articles with unreliable tinyurl.com/WikiUnrel Once you open an article, CTRL+F for “unrel”.
