some existing, unsourced text.
2. Make at least 5 other productive edits.
Assignment 5\~/9-29-08
1. Find a (likely) copyright problem; e.g. a clear copyright
violation, something that should be "fair use" but isn't labeled as
such, or something with an unclear copyright status. It can be an image
or text. Just list it at the bottom of page for now; we'll discuss
how they're dealt with later.
Assignment 6\~/10-01-08
1. Upload an image to Wikipedia or to Commons. Make sure the image has
all the necessary source & license information, and a useful description.
It can be an image you create, or one you find somewhere.
2. Add an image either to a Wikipedia article, or to a gallery on Commons.
It should be appropriate for the article or gallery that you add it to.
It can be the image you uploaded, or a different one that's already
here somewhere.
Assignment 7\~/10-08-08
1. Find a reference book that would qualify as a "reliable source"
(an actual, physical book, in the library or elsewhere). Use it to add
some new, relevant information to an article (roughly a paragraph).
Be sure to cite the book properly. Be sure not to "copy & paste" from
the book.
2. Begin to identify a larger text or media project that you will work
on, preferably either Buffalo-related or using significant local
resources. E-mail me your plan.
Assignment 8\~/10-15-08
1. Help organize some Buffalo-related material (e.g. categorizing articles,
adding to lists, linking articles, creating image categories).
2. Make at least 10 distinct edits (total).
Assignment 9\~/10-22-08
1. Take at least 2 encyclopedic, quality photos of a boring or ordinary
subject (no living things, art, or buildings). Upload them to Commons,
make sure they have proper descriptions, categories, etc. Add one to an
article if possible.
2. Organize 5 or more images that are already on Commons - add categories to
uncategorized images (see Commons:Category:Media needing categories), or
add images to galleries (with captions), or add descriptions to images
that lack them.

1. Begin work on your first larger project (article or media)
Assignment 11\~/11-23-08
1. Complete one of your major projects
Assignment 12\~/12-15-08
1. Complete major projects (total of 2 articles + 1 media project)
2. Make at least 2 edits contributing to behind-the-scenes, community areas:
DYK, FAC, FPC, Reference desk, ... (anything not in the main article or
talk spaces)
3. Make an edit to a foreign language wikipedia (or foreign langage wikinews
or wiktionary). E-mail a link to your edit, since it won't show up on
your contribs here.
4. Provide 1 good, freely-licensed or PD image (or other media) for a
Buffalo-related article that has none; or an image of a notable person
visiting Buffalo, whose article has none. This must be separate from your
main media project. Some specific goals:
