Day 3 Assignment - Participate in Wikipedia Dispute Resolution - due midnight Tuesday: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:32, 6 January 2008

Use your groups from Thursday's Class (feel free to give yourselves a new name).
As a group, find a wikipedia entry that is currently involved in a dispute over its editing and/or content.
Some places to look to find current controversies are:
Any "What links here" and "Related changes" from a contentious topic, such as "terrorism".
Once your group has picked an on-going controversy, each member of the group should intervene and try to help resolve the dispute via the talk pages connected to the article.
Your group is free to coordinate your comments as little or as much as you want, but the comments should come from individual group members and not the group as a whole.
This is an on-going assignment so you should monitor and respond to the pages at least a few times.

By midnight on the evening of Tuesday January 8th, post the results of your group intervention in the pages linked below.
