Milestones

Week 2 (08/30 - 09/05) - Complete

This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.

Week 6 (09/27 - 10/03) - Complete

Everyone should be writing their article drafts.

Since you're editing an existing article, a sandbox is a great place to prepare your updates by copying a small portion of the article that you want to change or expand. Do not try to overhaul an entire article from the sandbox. Instead, identify what's missing from the current form of the article. Keep reading your sources as you prepare to write the body of the article. When you're ready to make edits:

  1. Open the article you want to change in Edit mode. (References and other templates will break if you copy from Read mode.)
  2. Select the portion you want to work on — a few paragraphs at most — and copy it.
  3. Open your sandbox in Edit mode and paste the copied article content.
  4. Add an edit summary that says copied from [[article]] with the name of the original article, then save it by clicking Publish changes.
  5. Re-enter Edit mode in your sandbox, make your changes, and publish them.

Week 7 (10/04 - 10/10) - Complete

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned article, making sure that every article has been reviewed.

Week 13 (11/15 - 11/19) - Complete

Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading. DO NOT move your changes in the Sandbox to the live Wikipedia page.
