Tutorial 1 Week 3
Activity 2: From Scratch


 * Topic of Varangians: If I was the one who created this article, straight away I would have at least cited 1-2 sources for the paragraph that was provided to form a factual basis for further edits. Sources at the time of publication were readily available. An author with at least some relevance to the topic would have been a good starting citation and provided a bit more validity to the topic. Personally, if I was at least the first editor, I would have been more specific with a rough time period. The first author did a good job by providing some links to other relevant Wiki articles.


 * If I was the second editor, I would begin to insert dates and a time period, and begin to expand on basic factual information about the history of their formation and provide sources for claimed aspects of their existence from the previous author, e.g. their assimilation and their origins from Sweden. By the time of the third edit, substantially more information is provided by another author and 'See more' links are provided. It would also be a good idea at this point to include a painting/historical artwork to provide some appealing visual characteristics to the page.

 * I feel like that lesson was profoundly important for me as it definitely highlighted the importance of formatting and showing how it is to be properly edited and formatted in the future. As I haven't had much experience with Wikipedia before, it really helped knowing how to carry out headings, subheadings, and other important code to create a masterful final article. The ability to understand and use source editing is also really useful.
