Useful Links

For students who are new to editing Wikipedia, I recommend reviewing the following materials to get started:


 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * An even more extensive resource for editing
 * What makes a topic worthy of inclusion
 * How to write a great article
 * Help pages
 * Evolution of an article

For CCT 110: Please feel free to post technical questions to the talk pages of our Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors: Deneille Walters and Monico Santiago.

You can also consult the "Resources" and "Getting Help" links found on your course syllabus and/or assignment instructions sheet.
