Things to work on for your Week 9 continued edits:

  • Sandbox: You are supposed to have a sandbox that has the title of the article you are editing in the URL (see video I posted on how to do that or set up a meeting with me). You should move all of your edits thus far and moving forward to that sandbox with the proper URL/title. <-- at this point it is not worth changing this
  • Evaluate an article: You didn't do the evaluation assignment on the article you are actually doing. I recommend going back through that exercise and working through the article you are working on to help you strategize what needs to be changed. Then you can out that list in the talk page for the Sandbox that includes all of your edits and cross things off as you do them (you can also edit what I have said on this talk page and cross things off as you complete them)"<--- at this point I don't think you have done this but still recommended
  • Copyedits: You did not do the Week 5 assignment correctly, but you should go through the article you have assigned yourself and see if there are sections that need copyediting. Copy those sections, and then below that put the version with your edits bolded. Publish each as you go with explicit notes on what you changed from the original Wikipedia article. That way when you migrate your work to live Wikipedia you will be able to publish and explain each change as you go. Doing so is a required part of the Week 13 Wikipedia assignment.<--- you have done "batch edits" which is not correct. You need to publish each edit as you go.
  • Bibliography: This is a good start for a bibliography, but you should starting summarizing this work and possibly finding more to build out your contributions to the existing Wikipedia article. There are for instance a call outs for "citation needed" in the existing article, are there some you could add there?<--- you added one citation but are not using it to actually add a citation to content yet. You need to do this before adding it to live Wikipedia next week.
  • Citing sources: Again, start adding more to your sandbox, but make sure it is clear where in the live Wikipedia page your edits will go.<-- see above. you have added a new reference but the citation is not being used to indicate any information is being cited from it yet.
  • Adding media/hyperlinks: You added the hyperlink required in Week 8, but you should go through and see if there are things that should be hyperlinks in whatever you add and the existing article (and that you indicate what links to add, not just that you added a Wiki link). The image you added is fine, but be sure before you add media to the live Wikipedia article that it is actually necessary or contributes to the article (that is, you had to do it for this assignment, but in your final Wikipedia contributions don't add it just to add it).<---you have improved the caption
  • Overall: You seem to be doing things week by week, but now you really need to focus on the bigger picture of what you plan to add/edit here. Is there more in the existing article that needs copyediting? More citations you can use to expand on the sections you are working on? The more planning you can do now the easier it will be for you to chip away at those edits between now and November 22 when you need to move your final edits to live Wikipedia. "<--- you still do not seem to have a big picture of your edits in mind, but really should at this stage. More content and citations need to be added here.
