Thinking about Wikipedia

Dr. Hagood will assign each student two articles to review. By October 30, each article will receive multiple reviews.

Week 7
You will now have feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes. You / your group will be asked to describe the changes you made in class.

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the &quot;mainspace.&quot;
