Some comments and suggestions
Hi, again. Your proposed project sounds great.

When you have the time, check out the Wikipedia Education program. It's designed for the university level, a semester-long class where students choose a subject and create or expand a Wikipedia article on that subject for credit. Parts of that program may be adaptable for your AP/Honors classes. The student orientation may be immediately useful as an introduction to editing Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is HUGE and still growing. I still learn new things about Wikipedia and related projects after a couple of years editing. Don't be discouraged as you begin to learn about wikis and the culture of Wikipedia. Download and install a British English dictionary so that you can deal with variations in spelling. When you have a question, try the Wikipedia Teahouse, a place designed to help new editors. Feel free to leave questions on my talk page and I'll usually answer within a day.

The Journey of Ibn Fattouma is a good project. The article is currently rated Start class. Improving it to a Good article is a reasonable goal. I recommend starting by bringing the article into compliance with the WikiProject: Novels structure guideline of the article template. Upload an image of the novel's cover or jacket for the infobox under a fair use rationale. From there, improving the article is adding some more references from independent reliable sources and cleaning up with a thorough copy edit.

Good luck staying ahead of your students! DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·cont) Join WER 00:15, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
