You're learning a lot about Knowledge, and the point of this class is to help you edit like an old pro, not a "newbie"!
162:: If you are starting a brand new article, or expanding a "stub" (generally speaking, an article that is only a few sentences long), your goal is to bring it to "Start" class. The article is developing, but should satisfy Knowledge's basic content standards. The article should make it clear how the topic is

This assignment spans Week 3 to Week 6 of the
Writing Knowledge Articles course. This constitutes the main coursework; you should plan to put several hours into this project in the coming weeks. You have a choice of whether you would like to work on an existing Knowledge article, or start a new one;

This is not a problem, but you should be prepared to continue your work after the class ends. An alternative is to submit the article for a

You may choose any article on
Knowledge to improve (unless it is already a Featured Article, of course!) You may also choose to create a brand new article. Several considerations may go into your decision. The concepts outlined below may be helpful as you decide.
292:-- that is, explicitly seeking out people to support your position and overrule those who disagree with you -- is to be avoided. When you seek input into a disagreement, try to use neutral language, and don't exclusively seek out people on one side or the other.
120:(pictured at right), you will need to accumulate 200 edits to various Knowledge pages. (You can keep track of your edits by clicking "Contributions" near the upper right corner of the screen; we will cover a way to easily count them in an upcoming screencast.)

When you complete the course work, you should apply for a badge, which you can display (on your
Knowledge user page or another web site) to demonstrate your successful completion of the course. See

We expect that most students will be aiming for C or B class in their projects. In most cases, finding good sources and using them to add material to the article will be your primary task.
