Milestones

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your lab. . 


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 - Get started on Wikipedia
  •  Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link you got in lab. To avoid hitting Wikipedia's account creation limits, this is best done outside of class. Only 6 new accounts may be created per day from the same IP address. 
  •  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! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade. 
  •  When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself to a teammate on that person’s Talk page.

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:


  •  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.
  • Add 1-2 sentences to a course-related article, and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
  • There  is no formal lab, but Mel will be in lab from 2:30 until 3:30 to help teams who need help.
