Timeline

Week 1

Course meetings
Monday, 9 January 2017   |   Tuesday, 10 January 2017   |   Wednesday, 11 January 2017   |   Thursday, 12 January 2017   |   Friday, 13 January 2017
Assignment - Introduction to the Wikipedia project

 Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well. 


 This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia. 


 Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page. 


 To get started, please review the following handouts: 


Assignment - Practicing the basics
  • Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you.
  •  It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. New modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! These trainings are required for your course. 
  •  When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself to a classmate on that classmate's Talk page. 
Milestones

This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.

Week 2

Course meetings
Sunday, 15 January 2017   |   Monday, 16 January 2017   |   Tuesday, 17 January 2017   |   Wednesday, 18 January 2017   |   Thursday, 19 January 2017
Assignment - Evaluating an article training

Complete the "Evaluating Articles and Sources" training (linked below).



Week 3

Course meetings
Sunday, 22 January 2017   |   Monday, 23 January 2017   |   Tuesday, 24 January 2017   |   Wednesday, 25 January 2017   |   Thursday, 26 January 2017
Assignment - Add to an article

Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:


  • Add 1-2 sentences to a course-related article, and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
  •  The Citation Hunt tool shows unreferenced statements from articles. First, evaluate whether the statement in question is true! An uncited statement could just be lacking a reference or it could be inaccurate or misleading. Reliable sources on the subject will help you choose whether to add it or correct the statement. 

Week 4

Course meetings
Sunday, 29 January 2017   |   Monday, 30 January 2017   |   Tuesday, 31 January 2017   |   Wednesday, 1 February 2017   |   Thursday, 2 February 2017
Assignment - Choose possible topics
  • Review page 6 of your Editing Wikipedia guidebook.
  •  Choose 3–5 potential articles that you can tackle, and post links to them on your Wikipedia user page. For articles that already exist, check the Talk page to see what other Wikipedians might be doing. Finally, present your choices to your instructor for feedback. 
  • This means that you start looking for a topic you will write on as wikipedia submission. The wikipedia articles you include in your sandbox should be somewhat related to your topic but not completely, so you do not replicate their work, and at the same time your article should consist of links to yours while yours links to them.

Week 5

Course meetings
Sunday, 5 February 2017   |   Monday, 6 February 2017   |   Tuesday, 7 February 2017   |   Wednesday, 8 February 2017   |   Thursday, 9 February 2017
Assignment - Finalize your topic / Find your sources
  • On the Students tab, assign your chosen topic to yourself.
  •  In your sandbox, write a few sentences about what your wikipedia article may be.
    •   Compile a list of relevant, reliable books, journal articles, or other sources. Post that bibliography in your sandbox. You will be  using these sources in the writing of that article.
    • Remember, all readings from class can be used as sources as well, and all outside readings you have used for your take-home papers can be used here as well.
    • Your paper topic can be an elaboration on some part of one of your take-home papers, or it can be a separate topic. 
    • Before you decide on a topic, see if it is already covered in wikipedia. If it is, you may not have to give up your topic completely, but rather, elaborate on a part of it that wikipedia has not covered as extensively, and after you post it, build a link from it to the similar wikipedia article, and build a link from that article to yours. 
    • You can change your paper topic later on. 
Assignment - Draft your article

You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.


Creating a new article?


  •  Write an outline of that topic in the form of a standard Wikipedia article's "lead section." Write it in your sandbox. 
    •  A "lead" section is not a traditional introduction. It should summarize, very briefly, what the rest of the article will say in detail. The first paragraph should include important, broad facts about the subject. A good example is Ada Lovelace. See Editing Wikipedia page 9 for more ideas. 

Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.




Milestones

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.

Week 6

Course meetings
Sunday, 12 February 2017   |   Monday, 13 February 2017   |   Tuesday, 14 February 2017   |   Wednesday, 15 February 2017   |   Thursday, 16 February 2017
Assignment - Expand your draft
  • Keep working on transforming your article into a complete first draft. Get draft ready for peer-review. 
  • If you'd like a Content Expert to review your draft, now is the time! Click the "Get Help" button in your sandbox to request notes.
Assignment - Peer review and copy edit
  • First, take the "Peer Review" online training.
  •  Select a classmates’ article that you will peer review and copyedit. On the Articles tab, find the article that you want to review, and then assign it to yourself in the Review column. 
  •  Peer review your classmate's draft. Leave suggestions on the Talk page of the article, or sandbox, that your fellow student is working on. Other editors may be reviewing your work, so look for their comments! Be sure to acknowledge feedback from other Wikipedians. 
  •  As you review, make spelling, grammar, and other adjustments. Pay attention to the tone of the article. Is it encyclopedic? 
Milestones

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.

Week 7

Course meetings
Sunday, 19 February 2017   |   Monday, 20 February 2017   |   Tuesday, 21 February 2017   |   Wednesday, 22 February 2017   |   Thursday, 23 February 2017
Assignment - Respond to your peer review

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!


  • Read Editing Wikipedia pages 12 and 14.
  •  Return to your draft or article and think about the suggestions. Decide which ones to start implementing. Reach out to your instructor or your Content Expert if you have any questions. 

Week 8

Course meetings
Sunday, 26 February 2017   |   Monday, 27 February 2017   |   Tuesday, 28 February 2017   |   Wednesday, 1 March 2017   |   Thursday, 2 March 2017
Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia

 Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace." This process can last a number of weeks, till about week 14 or week 15. Take your time. Before you move your work to the mainspace, you must notify me and ask at least one classmate to go through it for you, who can make comments on your talk page or edit it directly in your sandbox.


Editing an existing article?


  • NEVER copy and paste your draft of an article over the entire article. Instead, edit small sections at a time.
  • Copy your edits into the article. Make many small edits, saving each time, and leaving an edit summary. Never replace more than one to two sentences without saving!

Creating a new article?

Assignment - Continue improving your article

Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.


  •  Read Editing Wikipedia page 12 to see how to create links from your article to others, and from other articles to your own. Try to link to 3–5 articles, and link to your article from 2–3 other articles.
