Assignment - Move live & finalize!

It's the final week to develop your article. It's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace." To help, please review the "Moving your work out of the Sandbox" training. 

After your work is live, revisit your text and continue to refine. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media. 

Exercise

Add links to your article

 

Once you're done, read Editing Wikipedia page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment. Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!
