Students will review content contribution, revising, and editing standards for Wikipedia. They will select an article to create or update through Wiki Project Medicine. Students will peer review then suggest edits to a peer or, if no peer is in the elective with them, the student will edit an existing section of another biomedical topic on WikiMedicine. The students final submission will also be expected to adhere to plain language best practices.

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline! This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
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.

Post your final outline / workplan to your selected Wikipedia's talk page, so that you can engage with the Wikipedian community members who are interested & actively following your article. If you are working on a team, I want you to be explicit about what section(s) you will individually be responsible for.
Consider explicitly declaring any/all of the following (but don't feel limited to these):
It's time to think critically about your peer's Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate one peer's Wikipedia article next week and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.

How to conduct peer review in addition to guidelines above?
How to respond to the peer-reviewer's comments?
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
It's the final week to develop your article.
