Suggested readings/viewings
SFB says: moved this to homework
- How Wikipedia Works, chapters 4, 6, 10
- http://wikistrategies.net/conflicts-of-interest/
Webinar
- Welcome and review of previous session
- Review homework, take questions, look at student work
- Tour of an article that demonstrates a contributor with limited expertise building valuable content
- Tour of an article/talk page demonstrating good behavior while under a conflict of interest
- Tour of an article/talk page demonstrating bad COI behavior
- Tour of the Manual of Style and the Featured Article review process
- Suggest that people start thinking about what articles they want to work on. Tell people where to add ideas. <--SFB says, on their user or talk page IMO - put into P2PU
Homework
