Wikipedia:Writing Wikipedia Articles course/Round 1/Week 5
Week 5 Homework
- This is the last week to work on the main assignment for this course, as outlined in Week 3. Having either selected an existing Wikipedia article to improve at least one level on the quality scale, OR started a new Wikipedia article (which you will aim to bring to at least "Start" class in quality), you should by now have this well underway. Not so much? No worries. Work on it this week, joining us in the lab if you're stuck. Also try tweeting #wikisoo for help from your classmates! We will be reviewing selected articles in the last class.
- How many edits (changes) have you accumulated on Wikipedia? Check out your user contributions page to find out. By now it should be at least 200. They sure flew by, didn't they?
- Write a blog post about your experiences working on Wikipedia (or similar: a YouTube video, 5 tweets or Facebook posts, a Storify or Tumblr page…) Use the hashtag #wikisoo (and/or, if appropriate, #CommOER).
