Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Florida State University/Roman Women (Fall 2022)

This course, Studies in Roman History: Roman Women, is a detailed exploration of the lives of women in ancient Rome, their representation in literature, and the limits and the possibilities of surviving evidence. The course will consist of both general discussions and a series of case-studies, and students will develop their own research projects on the topic. By editing Wikipedia, expanding stubs, and creating new pages, students will learn to check and add citations to existing entries and increase the presence of Roman women on the site.

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.

Week 8
Now that you've been working with an article, you may have more ideas about improving and increasing its citations and references. Evaluate the types of citations and references that your article currently includes, and draft a list of three additions, which should include at least one general (and accessible) reference work and at least one scholarly article on a point of detail.

Week 9
If you've posted work to your sandbox and received feedback, it's time to start moving your text to Wikipedia. We'll be doing this over the next two weeks. If you've posted something to your sandbox recently and not seen feedback, do let me know.
