Things to work on for your Week 9 continued edits:

  • Evaluate an article: Go back to your article evaluation and pull out the list of things you said you could improve on the existing article. Put that list here in the talk page and cross things off as you do them (you can also edit what I have said below and cross things off as you complete them).
  • Copyedits: I recommend going back and seeing what you actually did in your copyedits and republishing the changes in your sandbox (make a small edit and reverse it) with explicit notes on what you changed from the original Wikipedia article. That way when you migrate your work to live Wikipedia you will be able to publish and explain each change as you go. Doing so is a required part of the Week 13 Wikipedia assignment.
  • Bibliography: You should expand your Bibliography. You currently only have 3 sources, and the citations are not properly formatted so it is hard to tell if they are all peer-reviewed academic sources
  • Citing sources: What you have done thus far is good, but you need to add more and also make sure it is clear where in the existing Wikipedia article your additions will go.
  • Adding media/hyperlinks: You added a needed hyperlink, but as you continue you should go through and see if there are things that should be hyperlinked in whatever you add and the existing article. The image you added is fine, but be sure before you add media to the live Wikipedia article that it is actually necessary or contributes to the article (that is, you had to do it for this assignment, but in your final Wikipedia contributions don't add it just to add it).
  • Overall: You seem to be doing things week by week, but now you really need to focus on the bigger picture of what you plan to add/edit here. Is there more in the existing article that needs copyediting? More citations you can use to expand on the sections you said were out of date or needed to be developed more? The more planning you can do now the easier it will be for you to chip away at those edits between now and November 22 when you need to move your final edits to live Wikipedia.

Week 12 feedback: Be sure to publish edits as you go and not as "batch edits" (such as this: What I did today was add another citation and information from the journal about the postitives that social media has done for student learning and I also hyperlinked all of the things that couldve been hyperlinked and made sure to bold everything that I changed and or added if I did anything wrong please let me know before hand)."
Also you need to add in-text citations for these additions: "Weisberger's hypothesis is supported by research by Junco, Heiberger and Loken (2011) and Blaschke, Porto and Kurtz (2010)"
Other than that you've made some good, researched additions here and are ready to move your work to live Wikipedia next week. Adrishaw (talk) 22:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
