Welcome!

Hello, Zport20, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:59, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply


Articles

  1. Ancient music
  • This is a surprisingly good one. This is one of a genre of wikipedia articles that is a kind of branching article that mostly links out to smaller articles. But some work needs to be done to a) figure out what needs to go here and b) check in on the sub pages to see if there is anything that can be brought up from the others and c) figure out what else might need to go in there (do you need to open space for anything else?)
  1. Viral phenomenon
  • Hmm, a student of mine did this one two years ago. Unless you think that there is more significant work to do here, let's let it continue to evolve.
  1. Bulletproofing
  • This one is a bit short on content, but might be do-able. It could also use some comparison with the sub pages involved (such as the bulletproof vest article).
  1. Space food
  • Good one. It obviously needs a different structure (for instance, what is "Processing" as a category?) and there are some apparent sentence-level issues.
  1. Nike sweatshops
  • I've had students propose working on this one before. It seems like a potentially difficult one, but the more I look at it, the more I think some really careful editing could be done to ensure NPOV -- more than has been done. But you might run into resistance since it is a naturally controversial one.
