In class - Introduction to the Art and Feminism Wikipedia project

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well. 

 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: 


In class - Practicing the basics
  • Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you.
  •  It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. We will be reviewing these together in class. If you are not present in class during the lesson, you must watch these on your own to get credit. 
  • 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 classmate on that classmate’s Talk page. Please note that classmates enrolled in this course may not be in your physical classroom. In other words, this is your opportunity to meet new people across campus.

Assignment - Add to an article

Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. 

  • Goal: Add 1-2 sentences to an article, and cite that statement to a reliable source, as you learned in the online training.
  • To help pick your article, consider browsing the Category:Women artists list or the Category:Feminism list on Wikipedia. You can also dive into some of the sub-categories to find a topic. 
  • Try to find an article that is short or under-developed that can use our help!

Assignment - Taking it further

If your article warrants an addition of images or media, please take the following training modules & review the Illustrating Wikipedia guidebook. As we have already learned, copyright on images and other media like videos and music is quite complicated, and it is essential that items that you attach are in the public domain. It is very difficult to find things like this but not unheard of. Please feel free to ask for help if you want to pursue this.
