Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Oakland University/History of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile (Spring 2022)

History of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile from independence until the end of the Cold War. Lectures and readings cover slavery, independence, caudillos, wars against indigenous groups, War of the Triple Alliance, War of the Pacific, immigration, Marxist-influenced movements, labor, unions, populism, Peronism, Vargas era, Allende, and Cold War dictatorships. But any topic about events or people from these countries in this period would be acceptable for students to research and edit.

Week 10
Guiding framework

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.

Week 11
You probably have some 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.

Resources:


 * Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
 * Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!

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

Week 12
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.



It's the final week to develop your article.
