* Next to your name, there will be a box that says "Add an article." Type in the title of your article, taking care to enter it exactly as it appears on Wikipedia.<ref>A few of you have chosen to work on articles on other language editions of Wikipedia. You won't be able to formally add your article in this way, but don't worry about it. This simply means it will be a little harder for us to see your work, so it will be a little more important for you to proactively seek out input and feedback on our course talk page.</ref>
== Working on your article (Weeks 3 to 6) ==
If you choose to write a brand new article, we advise that you begin working in your sandbox ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WMuXQgcwV4 instructional video]), and seek a little feedback from other students and/or course instructors prior to moving the article to its permanent home on Wikipedia. You may want to consult this page: '''[[WP:Starting an article]]''' However, we do not advise using the [[WP:AFC|articles for creation]] (AFC) process, which you will see mentioned on that page; AFC is a process geared toward people figuring out Wikipedia without any guidance, and will make you jump through more hoops than you need to. You're learning a lot about Wikipedia, and the point of this class is to help you edit like an old pro, not a "newbie"!
Line 35:
In some cases, there may be disagreements -- or potential disagreements -- to work through, in order to establish a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] appropriately reflects varying perspectives and beliefs. Whenever this is likely to be an issue, be sure to use the article's talk page to seek out input and talk through the relevant issues. Feel free to seek out advice from your classmates and instructors if this comes up, but be mindful that [[WP:CANVASS|canvassing]] -- 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.
