Timeline

Week 1

Course meetings

Tuesday, 3 March 2020 | Thursday, 5 March 2020

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 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:

Editing Wikipedia pages 1–5
Evaluating Wikipedia

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.

Tuesday, 10 March 2020 | Thursday, 12 March 2020

Assignment - Choose an article

Choose one article (two in case your first choice was not approved by your instructor: a first choice, and a backup) to translate into English. Post the article links on your talk page, and submit them to the instructor for review.
Once your instructor has approved one or both of your choices, finalize your choice of which article to translate.

Assignment - Begin translating

Copy your article from the target-language Wikipedia into your sandbox. Do this after class on Thursday.

Week 3

Course meetings

Tuesday, 17 March 2020 | Thursday, 19 March 2020

In class - Translation

Translate the first three sentences of your article.
Be ready to discuss your progress translating your article.
Carefully note and double check the original citations for facts in your source article.
- If an original source doesn't seem reliable, feel free to omit it from your translation.

Handouts: Citing Sources and Avoid Plagiarism

Assignment - Translation and fact-checking

Continue to translate your work.
Introduce citations from English-language texts that support the facts stated in your translated article. Adjust your translation if necessary.
For each sentence you translate, make a note of the sources used in the original article. Are they good sources? Do they really say what the Wikipedia article describes?

Week 4

Course meetings

Tuesday, 31 March 2020 | Thursday, 2 April 2020

In class - Publish your work

Discussion of fact-checking translated work, finding English-language sources.

Assignment - Publish your work

Move sandbox articles into main space.
- If you are expanding an existing article, it's time to add your revised translation (including English sources, when available). Copy your edit into the article. If you are making many small edits, save after each edit before you make the next one. Do NOT paste over the entire existing article, or large sections of the existing article. Be sure to check the article's talk page and respond to suggestions from Wikipedians. Don't panic if your edits are removed or changed! Discuss it civilly on the article's talk page, and make a note of it for your report or presentation about your editing experience.
- If you are creating a new article, do NOT copy and paste your text, or there will be no record of your work history. Follow instruction on the "Moving out of your sandbox" handout.
In your first edit to the article namespace, include a link of the source article (i.e., the article you translated) in the "edit summary" before hitting "save."
Copy the code {{Translated page|es|Page Title}} to the bottom of the Wikipedia article, replacing es with the language code of the language you a translating from and replacing Page Title with the title of the source page.

Handout: Moving out of your sandbox
