Getting Ready to start: due November 18th (10 points). Create a Wikipedia account. Then go to the WIS3434 Wikipedia Page: page and “Enroll” by clicking this link or the green button (to use the green button you need the enrollment token: “ecology”). Then Click the “Training for Students” link. This will take you to a short (1 hour) tutorial on Wikipedia. DO THE TUTORIAL.

1st Draft of Group Project: due October 16th (50 points): This draft is the first version of the text you plan on uploading to Wikipedia. Please include citations and any figures or pictures you think would be useful. Each entry should be 1200-1500 words in length. Note that prior to the Draft revision, you should have left these ideas for improving an article on its discussion page to get feedback from the Wikipedia community.

2nd Draft of Group Project: due November 13th (50 points): This is the second draft, with final versions of figures and pictures. You should have incorporated the feedback of other Wikipedia editors and your classmates.

Final Submission of Group Project: due December 4th (90 points): This is the deadline for uploading your revision to Wikipedia (i.e., moving from the Sandbox to the Main Space). No need to submit a paper copy of the revisions – we will evaluate the on-line version. If your article is new or was a “stub”, you must compose a one sentence hook and nominate it for “Did you Know”.
