Wikipedia talk:India Education Program/Courses/Fall 2011/Software Testing and Quality Assurance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seriously, you need quality assurance for your student contributions. I've seen three of the contribute, and all their edits were independently reverted, sometimes even in form of Edit wars.

The contributions were apparently:

  • badly researched, including incorrect facts
  • redundant to the existing text
  • not properly wiki-formatted
  • of low english language quality
  • of low contribution to the article ("xyz is a pretty application that can do wonderful things"

E.g. [1] [2] [3]

Sorry, this doesn't work the way you are trying to do it. You can't assign students random articles and expect them to be able to contribute at a Wikipedia level. They should be domain experts before contributing for most of the articles, and their language skills need to be top-notch, which many native speakers do not achieve! Please rethink this course. Maybe do it on the indian wikipedia first? --87.174.56.231 (talk) 09:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
