Any students who have ideas about how to approach their final project are encouraged to bring them up for class discussion.

Try it and find out! :) Did you see my video on how to create a template, and the related one on creating an infobox? If what you are creating is in line with others you've seen, you will probably find others are happy to have it added to an article. (There are cases where WikiProjects have staunchly

My project will be about the architect
Refugio Reyes Rivas, who built very important works in the city which I live. I think is very important to create this article because he's a very importante man for the history of Aguascalientes, Mexico. I uploaded two pictures of an sculpture of him, you can

Francisco Prestes Maia, who was an urban planner, professor, "man of industry", and one-time mayor of the city of São Paulo during the mid-20th century. He has a rather extensive page in Portuguese, as you can imagine, and he has a major arterial road named after him in São Paulo, but

I know this was asked in jest, but I think there's a serious point here -- it can be really easy to overwhelm yourself by taking on too much on
Knowledge! We really do suggest focusing *most* of your effort on one article, to make progress you can really see, and earn the badge. It's great to keep

Knowledge didn't seem to survive very long. Was it just my imagination or was Andrew dismissive of people who complained about this? I think there is a lot of real concern on the part of a lot of people--I can definitely see their point... Perhaps it is the *scale* of the conversation that is

My question is that I have changed wrong information on
Caribbean countries. Changed it and then had more experienced wikipedians change it back to the wrong information. This was a very frustrating experience where experience does not translate into accuracy.
611:: How much does your "clout" or reputation as a seasoned Wikipedian allow you to do what you do, vis-a-vis current events, uploading other people's photos, etc. I feel like if we tried to do that as novices, we would be subjected to a lot more scrutiny

List articles rely heavily on notability. So is the First
Nations Seeker search engine notable enough to have its own article? By Knowledge standards—e.g., needing at least a couple articles about the topic—it was difficult to demonstrate. See

Ryan Guy: I chose to create a new article about "Public Sphere Pedagogy." I've seen a couple small applications of it, but wanted to research it's theoretical backgrounds and national/international applications.
495:
Not necessarily, but since this is an English language project, ideally things are comprehensible & useful to an English speaker. There is probably a policy that speaks to it, but I don't know it offhand.
601:
I think that you will only see the Sandbox if you have a profile in that language. I have a "SANDBOX" page in English and "TESTES" page in Portuguese but nothing in Spanish... (I have no profile en español.)

We will also discuss the two badges you can earn through this course in more depth. As always, after the first hour we will have time for in-depth questions and discussion. Please add any questions to the

The article I want to write is for the spanish Knowledge, but I can't find the 'sandbox' in the spanish Knowledge version. Any advice? (By the way, is about an important architect of my city).

Because I'm working on a Knowledge Loves LIbraries project that's focused on local history at my library, I chose to write an article about John Tornow, aka "the Wildman of the Wynoochee"...

If an article has an orange box (e.g. needs citations) but we think we have improved the article enough to remove the box, should we remove the box or do we need feedback from others first?

I've been double-checking all the references, as a way to get a little more comfortable with things, but would love to expand the sub-sections, maybe change Art --: -->

We will discuss topics like how to build up a Knowledge article on a smaller topic, where authoritative sources are hard to come by, and how Wikipedians work together.
