Wikipedia:Training/core/Other topics 3

The best thing you can do over the long term to ensure successful Wikipedia assignments is to get to know the community of editors in your subject area. Plan to monitor student edits regularly and closely, and be prepared to participate in talk page discussions yourself when students get in over their heads.

You should also be proactive about plagiarism from your students; remove it yourself, if it becomes a problem. Your whole class will be seen as a hostile invasion if other editors see it as a source of plagiarism and you don't respond quickly. Conversely, you'll win hearts and minds if you or your students can find and remove plagiarism that was there before the class started.
