Week 6: Drafting starter articles

In Class / Materials

Homework

Milestone

Talk about Wikipedia culture and etiquette, and (optionally) revisit the concept of sandboxes and how to use them.
Q&A session with instructor and/or Wikipedia Ambassadors about interacting on Wikipedia and getting started with writing.

If you are starting a new article, write a 3–4 paragraph summary version of your article—with citations—in your Wikipedia sandbox. If you are improving an existing article, write a summary version reflecting the content the article will have after it's been improved, and post this along with a brief description of your plans on the article’s talk page.
Begin working with classmates and other editors to polish your short starter article and fix any major issues.
Continue research in preparation for expanding your article.

All students have started editing articles or drafts on Wikipedia.
