Course articles

Hello. Could you have your students list their articles for your course (Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Research in Personality (MaryBeth McGavran)). You can see topics chosen by students in other related courses to prevent overlap: Wikipedia:Canada Education Program/Courses/Present/Contemporary Research in Personality (John Zelenski)/Articles and Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Research in Personality (MaryBeth McGavran)/Articles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page.Smallman12q (talk) 00:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks. Yes, the students will be adding their topics to our course page. I had not seen this course so thanks for bringing it to my attention. We do not have any overlap on our articles, as far as I can tell, but I did bring this course to my students' attention. Some of these articles might be good ones to talk about with other editors because they are in the same area. Psy430uk (talk) 14:43, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Before your students create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not. Unencyclopedic articles are subject to deletion.

We highly recommend that you place {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 03:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
