Week 2
Students are referred to the additional training modules linked here.

By 18 October 2017, at 9:00am, post your proposed edits to your chosen article's Talk page. Your post should indicate what parts of the page your group members will be working to improve.

This will confirm your focus and provide guidance to the peer reviewer group on the goals of your edits.

This video provides a screenshot example of editing in a sandbox and then moving the edits from your sandbox to an article.

Week 3
UPCOMING DEADLINE ALERT: By 30 October 2017 at 9:00am, your group's edits should be available in the main Wikipedia page space and ready for peer review by other students and the wider Wikipedia community.
