Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Delaware/ACCT425 Accounting Capstone (Spring 2022)

The purpose of the project is to have students perform research about technology used in accounting and about accounting topics in general. The objective is to reduce misinformation about accounting related topics and to add to accurate accounting information on the internet. Articles about underrepresented groups in accounting, or the role of accounting for slavery are also encouraged. All posted material and references should use inclusive language.

Week 7
Guiding framework

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed. Please upload your reviews to Canvas.

Week 8
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.

Week 9
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the &quot;mainspace.&quot;

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13

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.

Week 10
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!

Week 11
It's the final week to develop your article.


 * Read Editing Wikipedia page 15 to review a final check-list before completing your assignment.
 * Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!

Week 12
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
