Literatura indÃ­gena: colonialidad y poscolonialismo

Week 1
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.

Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the &quot;Get Help&quot; button on this page.

To get started, please review the following handouts:


 * Editing Wikipedia pages 1–5
 * Evaluating Wikipedia


 * Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. (To avoid hitting Wikipedia's account creation limits, this is best done outside of class. Only 6 new accounts may be created per day from the same IP address.)
 * It's time to dive into Wikipedia. Below, you'll find the first set of online trainings you'll need to take. New modules will appear on this timeline as you get to new milestones. Be sure to check back and complete them! Incomplete trainings will be reflected in your grade.
 * When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself to a classmate on that classmate’s Talk page.

Week 2

 * Choose two articles (a first choice, and a backup).


 * Open your sandbox.

Supplementary trainings:


 * Sources and Citations
 * Sandboxes and Mainspace

Week 3

 * Be ready to discuss your progress translating your article.

Week 4

 * Move sandbox articles into main space.
 * If you are expanding an existing article, it's time to add to the article. Copy your edit into the article.
 * If you are making many small edits, save after each edit before you make the next one.
 * Do NOT paste over the entire existing article, or large sections of the existing article.
 * Be sure to check the article's talk page and respond to suggestions from Wikipedians.
 * Don't panic if your edits are removed or changed! Discuss it civilly on the article's talk page, and make a note of it for your report or presentation about your editing experience.
 * If you are creating a new article, do NOT copy and paste your text, or there will be no record of your work history.
 * Follow instruction on the &quot;Moving out of your sandbox&quot; handout.
 * In your first edit to the article namespace, include a link of the source article (if you used one) in the &quot;edit summary&quot; before hitting &quot;save.&quot;
