This course is an introductory study of India, with society and culture front and center stage, and political economy and history backstage. Some way into the course, students will pick a topic of their choice, do secondary research it, find appropriate places on Wikipedia (most likely, existing Wikipedia articles), and draft contributions to add to these places.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • [https://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia#page=12 Editing Wikipedia], pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.

{{assignment|Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia}}

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

[https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students/continue-improving-exercise/link-articles Add links to your article]

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

{{assignment|Assignment - Polish your work}}

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
