Public Policy Initiative
Where Wiki Edu got its start. It's outdated and here only for historical reference/background.

Pilot project from 2010-11 to explore WP as a teaching tool. Called "public policy initiative" because the professors were in public policy programs.

Resources for education materials

Relevant categories, templates, etc.

Wikipedia Education Foundation
  • WikiEdu.org
  • For Instructors at WikiEdu.org provides access to a great deal of what's linked here and is probably the best place to start

Deletion
  • WP:Deletion process - overview of the process
  • WP:CSD - Criteria for speedy deletion - following the guidelines in the student/instructor training will avoid running into any of these. Mostly for pages which comprise mostly copyright violations, duplicate existing articles, use a promotional tone, do not have enough context, etc.
  • WP:AFD - Articles for deletion - any article can be nominated for deletion according to the deletion policy
  • WP:PROD - Proposed deletion - a less formal way to propose deletion that does not require a week's worth of discussion, but also isn't for egregious problems that would be taken care of by CSD

Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and essays

[edit]
Note: This is not a comprehensive list. For a comprehensive list see WP:Policies and guidelines. Also, for additional information a few information pages and essays may appear alongside policies and guidelines.
Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and essays
Overview
Article/content fundamentals
  • WP:NOT - What Wikipedia is NOT (it is an encyclopedia, but it's not a dictionary, publisher of original thought, soapbox, blog, directory, manual, crystla ball, newspaper, etc.)
  • WP:NPOV - Neutral point of view
  • WP:V - Verifiability
  • WP:NOR - No original research
  • WP:BLP - Biographies of living persons (special rules for these articles)
  • WP:VAN - Vandalism (don't do it)
Other article-related policies and guidelines
  • WP:Deletion policy
  • WP:Protection policy - sometimes when articles are frequently vandalized or subject to edit warring, the article is protected in one of a number of ways
  • WP:BEBOLD - Be bold. Wikipedia wants you to be bold with your edits. If you're bold, however, don't be surprised if someone challenges your change (see BRD below)
  • WP:RS - Identifying reliable sources

Instructor training
  • Training for educators (WP:EDUCATOR) - online orientation which takes the form of a mostly linear series of short pages with basic information about teaching with Wikipedia, basic editing, best practices for using Wikipedia in the classroom, and the courses extension/course pages - instructors recommended to complete before planning a syllabus - Four main modules plus a welcome and topic-specific information: Core, Editing, Classroom, and Course pages
    • Welcome includes some background on the program and what to expect in this training
    • Core is mostly identical to the same module in student training: primarily concerns policies and guidelines. The Five Pillars, Verifiability, Notability, No Original Research, Copyright and Plagiarism - the student version of the plagiarism page is slightly more detailed but otherwise the two are the same
    • Editing is very similar to the same module in student training, but worded/framed differently for instructors including suggestions e.g. "Please remember that even when the students are working in their sandboxes, all Wikipedia copyright and plagiarism policies still apply.": having students train in a computer lab, why students must create an account, username policy, edit button, Visual Editor, the interactive editing tutorial, basic formatting (omits the "more markup" interactive tutorial that students do), citing sources (including the interactive tutorial), talk pages,signatures, the question of whether/what extent to use sandboxes for article development (much more here than in the student training, mostly in the form of "your role as expert" sections at the bottom of each page), watchlists (doesn't mention the dashboard), a little bit about the community, consensus, bold/revert/discuss, and civility (everything after sandboxes is identical to student training, and the instructor training omits the long list of resources students have access to), and a list of resources for where to get help (Help:Contents, Wiki Edu brochures, using talk pages, Cheatsheet, Teahouse, help desk, the help me template, avoiding plagiarism handout, IRC)
    • Asked whether students will be editing medicine-related articles or not. If so, it explains briefly the special sourcing and stylistic issues. If not, it goes through article assessment, WikiProjects, working with the community, etc.
    • The Classroom section is about using Wikipedia in the classroom, including assignment ideas. Goes over learning goals to keep in mind: developing writing skills, media and information literacy, improving critical thinking and research skills, foster collaboration and community of practice, and devleoping technical and communication skills. Some of these learning goals is accompanied by possible assignments. Then moves into the sample syllabus, best practices for choosing articles. Followed by a case study. Includes a week-by-week sample syllabus (click the little number of the week for a different presentation of the week's agenda/materials). Ends with a grading rubric (participation based on 4 assignments in weeks 1-4, participation in discussion, peer reviews and collaboration, presentation and reflective essay, quality of contributions in light of essay). Suggests installing the inspect diff userscript. Provides specific wording for assignment descriptions. Suggests wikilove.
    • Course Pages explains the concept. Explains how to go about getting user rights, using the wizard, adding your institution, etc.

Resources for finding subjects to write about
Note: Just because something is listed in one of the requested/wanted articles lists doesn't mean it's an appropriate subject for an article. After all, you can add anything you want to some of them. Be sure to look into whether it's notable and to make sure the subject doesn't already exist on Wikipedia under a different name/capitalization/spelling.
  • Wikipedia:Requested articles - Anybody can request an article be created here, and these requests are sorted by subject.
  • Wikipedia:Most-wanted articles - A list of articles that are linked to often but don't exist (and thus display as a redlink). Note that many of these are red because they've been deleted one or more times in the past. If you click the redlink, look for a box at the top of the page indicating it was deleted. For example, Telly Awards is on the list as I write this, but has been deleted three times before. It would be a bad idea to recreate it unless you really know what you're doing.
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles - Lists of subjects in other encyclopedias which may not yet be covered in Wikipedia. Note that some may not exist for a reason.
  • WP:STUB - Stubs are very short articles ripe for expansion.
    • Category:Stubs - All stubs appear in the stubs category
    • Category:Stub categories - ...and are categorized in the stub categories category (as confusing as that wording is). Going through stubs can be a cumbersome process. There are, as I write this, 1,885,742 total stubs in 13,218 categories!
