Week 4 Homework
- Interview a Wikipedian! This is the fun one. Working in small assigned teams, jointly compile a list of questions for an experienced Wikipedian who has agreed to be interviewed (name and contact details will be provided). Collaborate on-wiki to summarize the interview and what lessons you have learned, then tweet #wikisoo to share the finished product! Be sure to check out your classmates' work too.
- Upload a photo to Wikimedia Commons and place it on your user page or in an article - for example, your interview!
- Continue to build the article you've chosen for your main assignment (as described in Week 3 homework). Not getting anywhere? Join us in the lab this week to get things moving!
