Manypedia Assignment[edit]

Description[edit]

  • In this assignment you are asked to compare how two different Wikipedias (two different languges) address the same three (3) subjects using the website Manypedia (or Google Translate if you would prefer).
  • This is an individual (not group/team) assignment.
  • It will be due by class time on Monday, March 25.
  • Please refrain from choosing any of the examples we used in class on Wednesday or any already listed at the bottom of this page.
  • As you save subpages, they will automatically appear below (so no need to edit this page)
  1. Similar to what you did for the edit wars assignment, stake claim to the three articles you wish to compare across languages
    • Create subpages here with the names of the articles in question (where you can work on and submit the assignment)
    • as soon as you create the page, save it (even before you've written anything)
      • this will make the subpage appear below so other people can see it (if you wait to save it, someone else might create the page and claim it before you)
  2. Go to Manypedia, enter the page name you wish to compare and select languages
  3. For each of the three:
    • Compare and contrast the two versions on the subpage you've created
    • Explain why you chose the subject/language
    • Offer both specific details and summary statements
    • Does what you found deviate from what you expected?
