In class - Introduction to the Wikipedia project

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 Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.

To get started, please review the following handouts:


Assignment - Practicing the basics
  • Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you.
  •  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

Assignment - Critique an article

 It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page. 

  • Complete the "Evaluating Articles and Sources" training (linked below).
  • Choose an elite athlete biography/article from one of the following categories: 
    • First Nations sportspeople
    • Métis sportspeople
    • Inuit sportspeople
    • Your choice must be approved by the GA (Erin Basterfield) as only one person can edit each biography. You can see who has picked which topics by checking the list of assigned articles on the Students tab above. 
    • When you finalize your choice, head to the Students tab above and assign yourself your article topic. 
  • During your article evaluation, consider some of the following questions (but don't feel limited to these): 
    • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
    • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
    • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
    • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
    • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
  •  Choose 3 questions relevant to the article you're evaluating and leave your notes in your sandbox space. You should also leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback with four tildes — Noahbushnell (talk) 19:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Week 3

Course meetings
Monday, 13 March 2017
Assignment - Add to an article

Add 3 new citations or references to the article you critiqued last week.  Add 1-2 new sentences for each citation. One of the 3 citations should reference a reliable source that identifies the indigenous heritage of this elite athlete. The other citations should add additional information about the individual's athletic accomplishments, athletic recognition (e.g., hall of fame inductions),  and/or the person's contributions to sport or the broader society after completing his/her athletic career. Your additions need to be accepted on Wikipedia for this task to be completed.
