Welcome to the Spring2017Project. We are a group dedicated to improving our understanding of Wikipedia.


 * Goals
 * This project is dedicated to creating, improving, and maintaining articles in Wikipedia.


 * Scope
 * The scope of this project covers articles needed to be written, stubs, and anything else that comes up.
 * By wikifying and copyediting, we can become educated in matters we didn't know about, and we become better writers.

Create an account
No account is required to write or edit Wikipedia articles, but there are big advantages -- even if you don’t plan to make edits! A major benefit: you need an account to create a watchlist, which enables you to track activity on articles of interest. This starting point will help you choose your username: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WIKISOO/Create_an_account

Add your user name below
Add your username to the list below, under Participants.

Create a user page
A Wikipedia user page is your way to express your identity to other Wikipedia users. What interests you about Wikipedia? What related projects have you worked on? What topics are you interested in improving?

Add a few articles to your watchlist
Visit an article you are interested (for instance, “open educational resources”) while you’re logged in, and click the star in the upper right. Add 5-10 articles to your watchlist. Now, whenever you click "watchlist," you’ll have an overview of recent editing activity and discussions related to these articles. Explore the "view history" tab of an article that interests you.
