This class introduces you to technical writing. For this Wikipedia-editing assignment, you will collaboratively expand a stub or start-class Wikipedia article, evaluating and documenting sources to enhance the credibility and richness of the article. Each of you will include at least 3 external sources for the edit. The purposes of this assignment are to help you gain awareness of the informative style of writing and to critically address Wikipedia's content gaps.
