Marisela Grajeda Gonzalez

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi, Marisela! Checking in to see whether you were able to accomplish the tasks for this week. Did you make a change to a Wikipedia page about your hometown or Brooklyn College? What about leaving an introductory message for a classmate or our Online Volunteer (Ryan)? If you did these things, please let me know. Those contributions are showing up in your editing history, but maybe you did do those tasks but weren't logged in...? Please let me know by sending me an email or leaving me a message on my Talk page. Thanks and welcome! Amy E Hughes (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Preliminary Bibliography

Just looked at your bibliography -- thanks for posting it. You can access your sandbox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marisela_Grajeda_Gonzalez/sandbox. To access it more easily, remember to add the template that I told you about at the bottom of your User page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marisela_Grajeda_Gonzalez ), which will make a button you can click to get to your sandbox. See the handout for the wikicode (in curly brackets) that you need. Regarding your sources: remember that for this assignment, you need to rely mostly on secondary sources, not primary sources. Your preliminary bib includes several primary sources written by theater artists and theorists (Grotowski, Brook, Diderot), and you can cite those when you develop your article, but for the most part, you should be citing books and articles by scholars who have written about your subject. I see you haven't yet completed the student tutorial, and when you do complete it, this should be clearer. Wikipedia articles should not contain original research or opinion by editors. If you rely mainly on secondary sources, you will avoid this. Remember that our librarians can offer a lot of help and support to you in identifying sources that will help you with this assignment.

In addition to the tutorial, these handouts will help with with navigating Wikipedia, editing, evaluating articles so that you improve them, and citing sources using Wikipedia's referencing tool:

• Editing Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Editing_Wikipedia_brochure_%28Wiki_Education_Foundation%29.pdf
• Evaluating Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Evaluating_Wikipedia_brochure_%28Wiki_Education_Foundation%29.pdf
• Citing sources on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Classroom_handout_-_Citing_sources_on_Wikipedia.pdf

Remember that the first draft of your Needs Assessment and Writing Plan is due in two weeks, and that you can find a model/sample for this in the sample E-Portfolio (created by a student in my class two years ago) in the Resources area on Blackboard. Bring hard copies of your draft to class for peer review.

Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy your research! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Sample NA & WP and E-Portfolio

Hi, Marisela -- you can now find a sample Needs Assessment (NA) and Writing Plan (WP) in the "Resources and Help" area on Blackboard, in the folder titled "Tips & Resources for Assignments." You can also find a sample E-Portfolio there (which you will create for your project at the end of the semester). Let me know if you have questions! Amy E Hughes (talk) 21:41, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Mother Courage image

Hi, Marisela -- I see you uploaded an image of a Mother Courage poster to Wikipedia -- well done! To complete this week's assignment, though, you also need to add the image to the Epic Theatre article. You can find instructions in the Illustrating Wikipedia brochure (accessible via our course page) or by looking at the wikicode in a classmate's article. Send me an email or leave a message on my Talk page when you've done this. Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 11:32, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

• Hi Marisela and Amyehughes. I see you uploaded it noting that the original creator had released it to the public domain. If I follow the link provided, I don't see that. I see that OSZMI claims to reserve all rights. Is there a page somewhere which indicates that the original is in the public domain? Remember, very few recent works are in the public domain and all of them will indicate as much somewhere. If you want to use the image but it is copyrighted, we can use it under what is essentially fair use but we'll need to add some more information to the image page first. Let me know if you need any help with this. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hello Marisela, I was going to peer review your article and realized that the peer review talk page has not yet been created. If you have any questions on putting it up for review, please let me know and I will be happy to help! Jcbjaw12 (talk) 13:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your peer review, Marisela. I edited and rearranged some content on my page based on your suggestions. They were very helpful! Mcraab123 (talk) 21:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
