Assignment - Final draft of Wikipedia article - revised, edited, & polished

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You have received feedback from Dr. Becker, another student, 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. 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. Finally, format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards.

Resources


  • Read Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
  • 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!
