Geological history of New Zealand
I am looking at writing an article on the geological history of NZ, using my existing wikispace for school students http://ncealevel2sci.wikispaces.com/Geology as a starting point. Obviously I need to recouch the language into international geological terminology (the wikispace article uses terminology specific to the syllabus)with some sections needing expanding, and others omitting. I've edited wiki articles but never created one from scratch. Where can i find a set of instructions? Is this a worthwhile project? Suggestions please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pkeestra (talk • contribs) 08:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * it has both its good points and its bad points. In general, it's a good idea, though as you'll no doubt be aware if you're letting your students do the writing, you'll have to keep a strict eye on them (it's also generally frowned upon to have a "group user name, so it'sd be preferable if it was just you adding any work to Wikipedia!). The best place to go for advice onstarting a new article is Your first article. There are also many other pages at Help:Contents which will hopefully be able to answer any other queries you have. You may also find New contributors' help page a useful place to ask any specific questions. Grutness...wha?  09:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
