  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.


In class - Discussion
Make note of Peer Review Suggestions and Finalize!

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!

  • Read Editing Wikipedia page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment.

 

    • The Contribute Images Module is OPTIONAL -- We have a truncated time in which to complete these, so not requiring this.


Assignment - Move your work from your sandbox to the article!

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
