Welcome to our Wikipedia team project timeline for FNH200. The objectives of the team project are to enable students to delve deeper into a specific area of interest and to relate it to the topics explored in this course. Students will also gain experience working in an interdisciplinary team and examine the same topic from different perspectives. Each team will select a traditional food commodity and a related aspect of food science and technology that is of interest to the team.
This page will guide you through our Wikipedia project for the course. Please also reference the assignment handouts that I provided. This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
By the end of this week, everyone should have their teams formed.
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account and have enrolled for this project using the provided link.
By this week, submit your team contract
A 'good' topic for this FNH 200 project should have minimal coverage on Wikipedia. Foods that have been explored in details may not be a good topic for this 2nd-year food science course.
For examples:
Maple syrup is a good topic as it represents Canada. However, it has been covered quite extensively (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup) and there may not be much left for you as students with only introductory level background in food science.
Soju, a Korean beverage, may be a good candidate for this project. Though there is quite a bit of info on soju on Wikipedia, the information are limited to history and consumption pattern of soju. Little information on processing is available. As students in FNH 200, you may want to expand on fermentation techniques, processing requirements, packaging needs, and Canadian regulations (if any) of soju on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soju
Keep exploring! It may take a while and some negotiations with your teammates before narrowing down to a couple topics. Consider this exploration part of the learning!
Handouts: Choosing an article, Evaluating Wikipedia
"Standardized foods" in Canada are described by the Food and Drug Regulations of The Food and Drugs Act of Canada or the Regulations under the Canada Agricultural Product Acts.
For this project, working with your team, you will review the Canadian legal standards of some foods and, if that information is missing from the food's corresponding Wikipedia article, you will add a short description and citation to the Wikipedia article.
Please work with a minimum of three different foods and contribute roughly 200 to 300 words on Wikipedia. Submissions will be evaluated on:
Instead of three different foods, you may choose to look into the regulations from three different countries (one must be Canada) of one single food.
Handout:
You've picked a topic and have begun to find sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
By now, you should have a mostly complete draft of your proposed edits. Post an introduction of your team project to the talk page of the Wikipedia article with a link to your sandbox. Ask for comments or feedback from the Wikipedia community.
____
Resource: Using Wikipedia Talk Pages
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
It's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Content Expert at any time if you need further help!
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
