Wikipedia:School and university projects/LNESC Upward Bound, Dallas

LNESC Upward Bound in Dallas, Texas will have a group of students come aboard and help organize a few things around here. They are a group of high-school students that will be taught how to do some minor tweaks on the encyclopedia. We'll focus on:

• CAT:STYLE - we want to run our spell-check and grammar-check through some articles and see what we can achieve
• Special:NewPages - in due time, we'll move up to marking pages for deletion when they're vandalism
• WP:AFC - we will learn to review what should and shouldn't go on the encyclopedia and eventually learn when to approve or decline pages.

Students are being prepared...

...and introduced to some of the basics of Wikipedia. These "basics" will include:

• WP:NPOV - we write in a neutral mode; our emotions and opinions don't need to be here
• WP:BITE - we try our darndest not to YELL, SHOUT, curse at, or otherwise abuse of newcomers. We are newcomers ourselves.
• WP:SPAM - we are not here to spam the project, advertise ourselves or products; we're here to make it better
• WP:VAND - one thing we're really NOT here to do is vandalize! We will learn why it's bad and how it is dealt with on the encyclopedia
• WP:AUTOBIO - we love ourselves and each other, but we can't write about ourselves. Some Most None of us are not notable enough to have our own biography here.
• WP:LICENSE - this is everyone's encyclopedia, and no one's encyclopedia... our contributions are free content, and we do cannot claim ownership of anything here.
• WP:FAIRUSE - Google Images is awesome! But, most of its content can't be uploaded here, sorry.
• WP:CITE - Wikipedia is sometimes said to not be reliable; we strive to make sure everything we write isn't something we heard from someone else, or think is true. All of what we say, beyond arranging words per WP:MOS, must carry citations: reliable sources that back up what we say.

Students

(none yet) We're still doing in-the-classroom training and students are not yet allowed to edit the encyclopedia under our supervision in the classroom. Once we feel confident to go "live," we'll list the students here
