Our major project for this section of NMAC 5108 will be to collaborate on improving several articles to bring them up to Wikipedia FA standards. We will work as a class on several articles, and you will be allowed to work collaboratively or individually on an article, or articles, of your choice.
This project will be broken into two parts: articles that everyone must contribute to and those chosen by you to develop individually or with partners.
Articles to Be Edited by All
I will work as the major editor, and you all will be my assistants. We will coordinate on the articles’ talk pages and edit them consistently throughout the semester. So, unlike a traditional paper where you tend to write most of it in the last part of the class, you should begin editing early in the semester and develop the habit of editing Wikipedia daily with your additions and corrections.
- The Prisoner of Sex — see the banner for the article’s major issues; these should all be corrected and the article improved.
- Stabbing of Adele Morales — this article uses some biased sources and contains some erroneous information that needs to be vetted with additional research.
Articles for Individual Development
Before beginning work, be sure your subject will pass the Wikipedia notability test.
- Georgia Woman in Red.
- Significantly edit or write an article about your hometown.
- Significantly edit or write an article about a hobby or interest that you already have significant knowledge of or interest in.
- Significantly edit or write a new article in your discipline.
- Propose an article or idea.
