Wikipedia Workshop
Class won't meet today.
Do this assignment on your own time, before Monday's class. But note that there is homework for Monday (a project proposal, which may require some thought).
Before Class
Do this assignment on your own time, before Monday's class. But note that there is homework for Monday (a project proposal, which may require some thought).
Before Class
In-Class Activity
- Read the assigned readings (by Spiro and Orlowski). Blog and comment as usual.
- Read the Wikipedia entries Key Policies and Guidelines, and the Five Pillars. These are also assigned readings, so blog and comment as usual.
Homework
- Choose a Wikipedia article about a subject you know well. Click on "edit this page" and write a blog entry about what you see. (You may also look at the "history" and "discussion" sections, to see what's going on behind the curtain.)
- Compare the Wikipedia entries for Seton Hill University and St. Vincent College. (What are their strengths and weaknesses? What can you conclude about the activity on the "history" and "discussion" pages?).
You may combine some of these steps into a smaller number of blog entries, but please write short, richly-linked essays that demonstrate your ability to write (and link) for the general reader -- don't just "post your homework" on your blog.
- Make substantial edits to at least two different Wikipedia pages (you may choose to edit the site you examined in step 3, but you may also pick different pages). You are of course welcome to correct typos, but I'm actually interested in seeing you contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia
- Let some time pass. (Give other Wikipedians a chance to react to your work.)
- Comment on peer entries. Remember that this page shows you the recent postings by students in EL236.
- Blog about your experience. (How did the community react? What did you learn? What do you think your high school teachers, your college professors, and your fellow students need to know about Wikipedia? Reflect on the whole experience..)
Categories: class_topics
Could I combine the Spiro and Orlowski texts into one entry? Maybe compare and contrast their arguments, or something like that?
My bad. I read the steps, but did not see the sentence at the bottom. Sorry.
No worries.
Is the homework due on monday before class?
Yes, you can have the weekend to work on it. You don't need to do it all for Friday.
Another one bites the dust.

Somehow I posted the old comment again. Here is the good one.

How much editing is substantial? I added three sentences to the Seton Hill University page, is that enough? I am uncomfortable changing more than that, or messing around with the formatting or pictures.
During class, part 2

Final Conclusion
http://blogs.setonhill.edu/AnneWilliams/2008/11/my_edits_are_gone.html
It didnt end up being as long as I thought it would, but it was fun, so I hope I did it right!
http://blogs.setonhill.edu/MichellePolly/2008/11/wikipedia_assignment.html
I combined the in-class and homework sections into one blog entry...hope that's okay.
