Use of Wikipedia
Hi there,

Your tutor's suggestion that you use Wikipedia as a means of publishing work for your course may not be appropriate given the project's aims. Wikipedia is meant to be a repository of information that is notable and not original research; research material produced in a university course does not usually fall under these categories. Plus, this is a public wiki and you work can (and most probably will) be modified by other users regardless of your wishes. If you and your classmates wish to use a wiki for your course then maybe an alternative wiki hosting site such as seedwiki or wikispaces, where you can create your own private wiki for free, would be a better way of meeting your needs. Continued use of Wikipedia as a means of publishing original research is officially regarded as abuse and may raise the ire of other Wikipedians - I think it would be for the best if you and your tutor used another site for your course instead.
