This page is where you will find information about meeting agenda and milestones, tasks to do before the next meeting, and links to training modules and other helpful resources. Doing these tasks are part of your grade and will help you draft a great article which is part of your FINAL PROJECT.
Wiki Education built this tool for use by instructors and students contributing to Wikipedia for a class assignment, and I have adapted it for us. We will talk more about the Dashboard during Week 3.
The objective of this assignment is to help you gain Wikipedia literacy and to engage in and explore the process of collective knowledge production and dissemination on the web. The assignment asks you to find an important digital/media artist, movement, genre, artist-centre, etc. that is not listed on Wikipedia and make an entry for them, or that has a very sparse entry and you substantially populate it. You can choose someone we discuss in class or find your own. You will be graded on your correctly following Wikipedia standards, your proficiency in research and use of archival material if needed.
Choose something you can make a full entry about or add substantially to an already existing page. If you want to include a figure with limited information, discuss it with me. In the event of this, you can make multiple entries.
This assignment will be done in three parts.
Research - Annotated Bibliography Article - Peer Review Posting Revisions Reflection
See the syllabus for more details.
Pages that need contributors: CRA-W and Anita Borg Institute Wikipedia Project for Notable Women in Computing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sxr33IeAYKtxbfVo2b3KKNiIr2OI64cT4ZohEJNi43U/edit#gid=0 A spreadsheet of notable women with notes on if they have a page, no page, or if they are a stub. Stubs of Women Artists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Stub-Class_Women_artists_articles These are all stubs you can consider expanding.

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
- Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace." Do not do this until you have had peer review and your prof (me, Magda) has approved it. If the work in question is sufficiently developed and of good quality, I will approve it to be moved into the article main space. This is to ensure your article doesn't end up for 'speedy deletion' although it is not guaranteed.
After it is in the mainspace, find related pages and hyperlink your entry to them. This shows importance.

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. 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.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
