Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/College of New Rochelle, Rosa Parks Campus/Research and Information Literacy - Monday (Fall 2016)

This course page will help you upload the entry you've been working on into Wikipedia for extra credit points. I strongly encourage you to do this!

Week 1
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate your Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.


 * Create a section in your sandbox space called &quot;Article critique&quot; and leave your notes from this section of the assignment there.
 * After you've chosen an article, consider the following questions (but don't feel limited to these):
 * Choose an article, and consider some questions (but don't feel limited to these):
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Choose at least 2 questions relevant to the article you're evaluating. Leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback with four tildes — Val.r (talk) 23:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC).
