Cell Biology Honors

Welcome! By completing this course project you will learn how to be a Wikipedia Editor. Throughout the semester you will work on assignments and complete exercises that are designed to train you how to be an editor. Additionally, you will choose an article to create or improve, and you will have the opportunity to participate in class discussions via Canvas. The article you choose to create or enhance should focus on a female Biologist. You can also choose a stub or article marked for improvement within the topic of cell or developmental biology, rather than a biography. You should avoid articles that have been updated within the last 5 years. Please see the detailed instructions on Canvas.

Have a wonderful, creative semester. Dr. Chapman

Milestones

Week 6 (09/24 - 09/30) - Complete

  • Now that you've compiled your bibliography and written up your outline for how you'll improve your selected article, it's time to make those proposed changes live!
  • Navigate to your assigned article on Wikipedia, and click the edit button on the section(s) you plan on editing.
  • Begin adding your contributions while in edit mode.
  • Make small changes and click on publish frequently. It's preferable to make small edits rather than one large edit all at once. Remember, nothing is saved until you hit the Publish changes button!
  • Be sure to fill out the edit summary before you click publish.
  • Make sure that you include a citation for each fact you add.
  • Refer back to the Adding citations module for a refresher on adding citations.
  • Be sure to update the lead section to reflect any changes you've made.
