Editing an existing page
Editing an Wikipedia article demonstrates your critical thinking skills in action, when you choose the topic or page; analyze the importance of the contribution to the field or the lack of representation; determine which articles to edit; summarize the importance to the LGBTQ Theatre Community; and proving citations with direct links to support your claims in the articles.
Wikipedia provides several methods to edit an article. You can either using the wiki markup (wikitext) or via the VisualEditor (VE).
Before you begin, you can practice editing an article by using the Sandbox.
Citing Sources / References
- Wikipedia: Referencing for beginnersThis page describes the mechanics of inserting citations to Wikpedia entries that you create or edit, and what information to include.
- Wikipedia: Verifiability"This page in a nutshell: Readers must be able to check that any of the information within Wikipedia articles is not just made up. This means all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources. Additionally, quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by inline citations."
