==== [[Interpersonal_Media_(Winter_2020)/Wiki_Task_2|Wikipedia Task #2]] ==== ;Task: Complete Wikipedia orientation and choose article topic ;Due Date: Friday January 17 ;Deliverables: Make contributions in Wikipedia and [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Washington/Interpersonal_Media_(Winter) the class WikiEdu dashboard] * Complete the online training topics for week 2. * To practice editing and communicating on Wikipedia, introduce yourself to Salt and at least one classmate on Wikipedia (it can be anybody). Salt's username is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Altsalt Altsalt] and you can find a list of all of your classmates on the [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Washington/Interpersonal_Media_(Winter)/students WikiEdu class page]. * Decide on an article in Wikipedia that you would like to significantly expand and improve. Please choose an article that is as short and simple as possible and we ''stronglly'' recommend that you choose a "stub" article on Wikipedia.

You can find a list of Stub articles arranged by topic here (there are literally ''millions''): * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/List_of_stubs List of Stubs] — This is an extremely long list of articles that are currently stubs and which is also sorted into categories and then subcategories. It might be a little bit out of date so be sure to click through before you decide on an article. If there is a topic you know you are interested in writing about that doesn't have an article, that is also possible but will be more difficult so we're recommending ''against'' that relatively strongly. If you're committed to doing that in any case, there are a few resources you might find helpful: * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles Requested Articles] — This is a list of articles that others have asked to be created. It is sorted into categories and sub-categories. When you're looking at the list, remember that it's possible that somebody else has "gotten" to them first and forgot to remove it. Remember that a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Red_link red link] indicates that there is no page with that name.
