Project:WikiProject Cyberlaw 2006 Harvard
{{WikiProject status|defunct}}
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to help a class of Cyberlaw students become familiar with the project. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and link to their work; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Goals and Tasks
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne#Open tasks and Wikipedia:WikiProject Melbourne#Adopt an article for one example of how this section can be used.
- This project does not aim to write about cyberlaw, but to help cyberlaw students learn about the culture of editing and collaboration on Wikipedia. Subgoals:
- Identify an article, category, template, wikiproject, or policy discussion to contribute to.
- Link to what you are working on from this page.
- Identify yourself by signing in under a shared wiki account for your team. Each editor may also want to have a personal wiki account to separate other edits you make from edits your team makes aligned with these goals.
- Write about your experiences, on the wiki (either on a subpage of this project page, or on your team's user page (linked to from the upper-right-hand corner of your browser windo when you are logged in).
= Content: Adopting articles and more =
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too. You can do the same for a category; or you can pick a meta-page (the peer review process : peer review and featured article review; the deletion process: articles for deletion and Deletion review; the image review process: ...)
Articles
- Example article: User:Example
- Cyberlaw -- A favorite of JP's. Still needs work.
Categories
- Example category: :Category:Nature

= the [[Seigenthaler]] problem =
The January 4 assignment for the Harvard Law School students was to evaluate some Wikipedia problems, and propose solutions. Perhaps it would be productive for the Wikipedia community to interact with the students to help improve their understanding of the challenges, and help Wikipedian continuous self-improvement efforts.

Other subpages
Stub templates
Most cyberlaw topics do not yet have an article about them; those that do tend to be very short articles, or stubs. You can create a stub template to adorn these pages, and categorize them together as short cyberlaw articles needing work.
- e.g.
{{ Cyberlaw-stub}} - {{template|Cyberlaw-stub}}
- and the associated stub category :Category:Cyberlaw stubs
