;Due Date: Friday October 9
;Deliverables: Make contributions in Wikipedia

* Complete the online training for students.
* Create a user page, and sign up on the list of students on the course page.
* To practice editing and communicating on Wikipedia, introduce yourself to me and at least one classmate on Wikipedia. My username is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Benjamin_Mako_Hill Benjamin Mako Hill]. You can find a list of all of your classmates on the [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Washington/Interpersonal_Media_%28%29/students WikiEdu class page].
* Decide on an article you would like to create or a stub article you would like to significantly expand and improve (see below).
* Tell me what article you want by leaving a message on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Benjamin_Mako_Hill my user talk page].

If there is a topic you know are interested in writing about that doesn't have an article, go ahead and suggest it. If you are having trouble coming up with a specific topic on your own, 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.
* [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 It might be a little bit out of date so be sure to click through before you decide on an article.
