Assignments

 * For Wed, Sep 3:
 * Create an account and add your name to the Students list
 * Find 3 articles relating to UB or Buffalo (1 UB, 1 Buffalo, 1 either) and add them to the lists below
 * Suggest 1 Buffalo-related article that doesn't exist yet


 * For Wed, Sep 10:
 * 1) Find a reasonably short, interesting path through articles, starting at one of this week's "Featured Articles" on the Main Page, and ending at Kevin Bacon.
 * 2) Make 5 productive edits to articles - they can be grammar or spelling fixes, formatting, vandalism reverting, whatever.
 * For Wed, Sep 17:
 * 1) Wikify an article from Category:All pages needing to be wikified.
 * For Wed, Sep 24:
 * 1) Add a reference to an article. You can add some new information to an article, and include a citation for it, or add a reference for some existing, unsourced text.
 * 2) Make at least 5 other productive edits.
 * For Mon, Sep 29:
 * 1) Find a (likely) copyright problem; e.g. a clear copyright violation, something that should be "fair use" but isn't labeled as such, or something with an unclear copyright status. It can be an image or text.  Just list it at the bottom of page for now; we'll discuss how they're dealt with later.
 * For Wed, Oct 1:
 * 1) Upload an image to Wikipedia or to Commons. Make sure the image has all the necessary source & license information, and a useful description.  It can be an image you create, or one you find somewhere
 * 2) Add an image either to a Wikipedia article, or to a gallery on Commons. It should be appropriate for the article or gallery that you add it to.  It can be the image you uploaded, or a different one that's already here somewhere.
 * For Wed, Oct 8:
 * 1) Find a reference book that would qualify as a "reliable source" (an actual, physical book, in the library or elsewhere). Use it to add some new, relevant information to an article (roughly a paragraph).  Be sure to cite the book properly.  Be sure not to "copy & paste" from the book.
 * 2) Begin to identify a larger text or media project that you will work on, preferably either Buffalo-related or using significant local resources. E-mail me your plan.
 * For Wed, Oct 15:
 * 1) Help organize some Buffalo-related material (e.g. categorizing articles, adding to lists, linking articles, creating image categories)
 * 2) Make at least 10 distinct edits (total)
 * For Wed, Oct 22:
 * 1) Take at least 2 encyclopedic, quality photos of a boring or ordinary subject (no living things, art, or buildings). Upload them to Commons, make sure they have proper descriptions, categories, etc.  Add one to an article if possible.
 * 2) Organize 5 or more images that are already on Commons - add categories to uncategorized images (see Commons:Category:Media needing categories), or add images to galleries (with captions), or add descriptions to images that lack them.
 * For Wed, Oct 29:
 * 1) Begin work on your first larger project (article or media)
 * By Nov 23:
 * 1) Complete one of your major projects
 * By the end of the semester (15 December):
 * 1) Complete major projects (total of 2 articles + 1 media project)
 * 2) Make at least 2 edits contributing to behind-the-scenes, community areas: DYK, FAC, FPC, Reference desk, ... (anything not in the main article or talk spaces)
 * 3) Make an edit to a foreign language wikipedia (or foreign langage wikinews or wiktionary). E-mail a link to your edit, since it won't show up on your contribs here.
 * 4) Provide 1 good, freely-licensed or PD image (or other media) for a Buffalo-related article that has none; or an image of a notable person visiting Buffalo, whose article has none. This must be separate from your main media project.  Some specific goals:
 * 5) *Buffalo Bulls football, Turner Gill, etc
 * 6) *Byron Brown
 * 7) *Joe Mesi
 * 8) *Visiting speakers/performers: Jesper Juul (10 Nov ), Vijay Seshadri (11 Nov ), Rishi Reddi (13 Nov ), Jillian McDonald (17 Nov ), Eliot Lipp (18 Nov ), Colour Revolt (19 Nov )
