Assignment

[edit]

You should now know how to edit Wikipedia.

You can create a new article in your sandbox. If you are confident that it is a useful addition to Wikipedia then you can publish it.

Beware: editors will delete articles

  1. about yourself, your mum, your mate, your sports team etc
  2. that have no references. (rule of thumb: At least 3 RELIABLE references for new article)
  3. that do not conform to Wikipedia style values (look at similar ones)
Wikipedia will help those who try …. Only some will succeed, however

You need to add at least three paragraphs to three different articles. Each paragraph should have at least one reliable reference. (e,g. A paper, Your text book, journal articles, NOT your homework, a tabloid, a blog or facebook)

Choose three articles about Marketing - Campaigns, Methods, People, textbook index? Do not choose the same as your mate. This is Your work.

We need to see the three articles. Highlight the bits you added.

We will look at your edit history!
