Ideas for improving Wikipedia project

assign editing tasks before assigning the full article.
- improving references
- turning bare URLs into citation form (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianna_Huffington and link-rot tag)
- look for other tags indicating required cleanup

outline the assignment in a wikibooks instruction manual

have students write an abstract for a wikipedia article of their choice, and give a presentation?

create a list of possible topics (or topic areas)

create a list of past topics

example of "issues"

This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article. (March 2011)

This article uses bare URLs, which are uninformative and vulnerable to link rot. Please consider converting them to full citations to ensure the article remains verifiable and maintains a consistent citation style. Several templates and tools are available to assist in formatting, such as reFill (documentation) and Citation bot (documentation). (December 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this message)
