Today we will figure out the Wikipedia research assignment and get on our way to a solid research proposal. Some of you may even begin to do the reading and preliminary writing for the paper itself.

By the end of the semester (May 29-June 5), you must complete one of these three tasks on WP: create an article, add to an article (this includes adding citations using Citation Hunt), translate 1-3 articles (depending on the length of the originals).
a) Complete Training: (1) Wikipedia Essentials, (2) Editing Basics, (3) Sources and Citations, (4) Translating Articles (if you are planning to do so); https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/
