Today we will go over your initial attempts at creating a new Wikipedia article.
We will be working in groups, and I want you to spend time making suggestions for each other. In order to do this you'll need a blog post to your new Wikipedia article. If you could not get one started, please put up a post with a brief description of your topic.
In groups we will make comments on your blog posts on three specific ares:
1. Which of the ten wiki-mandments should be most closely followed for your topic.
2. What expectations do we have for "research" on this topic. What kinds of evidence does this topic demand? An article on Nintendo will require different kinds of evidence than an article on the French Revolution, or HDTV.
3. What specific information would you expect from this article? For example, if there was an article on the natural history museum at the U, I would expect a timeline, list of exhibits, research interests, etc.
4. (optional) any helpful tips for the author?
Remember, this is really the only chance for feedback before you turn it in next Thursday, (Tuesday is Pioneer Day) so let's take advantage of this.
If you are experiencing technical difficulties, please see my post on editing and starting a new Wikipedia page.
