Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.

Week 5
Now that you have a draft of what you want to contribute, it's time to move your work live - to the &quot;mainspace.&quot; Use the &quot;moving work live&quot; training for help!

Once you move your work live, you should 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.

Add links to your article

 * Don't forget that you can ask for help from your Wikipedia Expert at any time!

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