=Lesson Plan Tuesday February 3, 2015=

Registering New User Accounts

 * In the top right corner of any Wikipedia page there is a link to register an account.
 * Confirm that you are signed in --> Your Username should appear in the upper right hand corner.
 * Note to attendees: Decide if you want to have an anonymous identity on Wikipedia, or something more traceable. There are benefits to both, but this is up to you.
 * Note to attendees: Usernames are case sensitive.

Anatomy of a Wikipedia Page

 * Walk through the "Talk", "Read", "Edit", and "View History" sections of a Wikipedia page.
 * Note in the "Talk" tab: Talk pages are Wikipedia's version of peer review. More information: Tutorial/Talk pages
 * Note in the "View History" tab: Every page edit is publicly visible.
 * Note in the "View History" tab: Every page edit you make is traceable to your user account.

Demo: Making a simple edit to a Live Page

 * Using a demo article, make a simple textual edit or addition. Ask participants to follow along on your screen projection.

Userpages

 * Click on the "Edit" tab of the article.
 * Write your name and a little bit about yourself.
 * Press "save" at the bottom of the page --> the first time you press save you will 'create' this page.
 * Try out making text bold, creating interwiki links, and external links and pressing save. Use the Cheatsheet for reference.

Put your name down as a participant of today's event

 * Create a time-stamped signature of your username by entering in four tildes in a row (~).
 * Ask participants to go to your Wikipedia event page for today's event and sign in under the "Participants" section.

Working in the Sandbox

 * Titles/ section headings--> Use the Cheatsheet for reference.

Putting in Citations

 * Wikipedia citations are done in-line with the text, and are automatically aggregated as footnotes at the bottom of pages.
 * Citation templates are an easy way for beginners to begin inserting citations.
 * 1) Insert a reference for the book Tom Sawyer using the Worldcat entry for this book: Twain, Mark, and Paul Geiger. 1985. The adventures of Tom Sawyer. Pleasantville, N.Y.: Reader's Digest Association.
 * 2) Insert a reference using a citation template for this magazine article: Li, Shirley. "Roger Ebert's Wikipedia [Citation Needed]." The Atlantic. October 9, 2014. article link,

Putting in Citations: Next Steps

 * Demo: Instructor uses a Wikipedia article to demo adding in a reference to a live article.
 * All Participants: Find a page in your area of expertise that needs a citation and find a source text which will be added as a reference.
