Student version of this page (simplified)

Who am I to edit Wikipedia? Expertise, credentials, anonymity, privacy, conflicts of interest. Introduce /main assignment.

Suggested readings/viewings
SFB says: moved this to homework
 * How Wikipedia Works, chapters 4, 6, 10
 * http://wikistrategies.net/conflicts-of-interest/

Webinar

 * Welcome and review of previous session
 * Review homework, take questions, look at student work
 * Tour of an article that demonstrates a contributor with limited expertise building valuable content
 * Tour of an article/talk page demonstrating good behavior while under a conflict of interest
 * Tour of an article/talk page demonstrating bad COI behavior
 * Tour of the Manual of Style and the Featured Article review process
 * Suggest that people start thinking about what articles they want to work on. Tell people where to add ideas. <--SFB says, on their user or talk page IMO - put into P2PU
