This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/American_University/Understanding_Media_(Fall). Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article. |
For my 3-5 articles I choose:
#1 Avalon at Foxhall . I think I could add to this article because it is very short and theres a lot more information that could be added to it. I have knowledge of this because I live there, and I have a housing manual about the Av that I could source.
#2 Middleborough, Massachusetts - I could add to this article because this is the town Im from and in high school we have to take a course on the history of our town so I have a lot of knowledge of it. I actually wrote a piece in the education section for a previous assignment in here but someone deleted it. I would like to add a category called "Pratt Farm" which is a conservation and recreation area in our town. It is a walk/run course about 8 miles long where a great majority of our town likes to walk their dogs or ride horses.
#3 Culture#Anthropology - this is my new option that i feel confident about. Under the category of culture there is a section named "anthropology" that is quite empty. I am currently in an anthropology class that is studying culture and how sex/gender relates to it. I would love to add to this slim section because I feel the articles, journals, and research we have done in this class could be heavily valued.
Option 2 is preferable because the housing manual is probably not considered arms length enough from the building management as a source. Even with option 2 you can't use your personal knowledge alone of course, you need reliable sources, according to Wikipedia's standards. If you can get reliable sources for option 2 you can go ahead, otherwise please email me when you update this page with more options. Erickaakcire (talk) 20:25, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
