Strategy
Please read and understand the point system above. We need to develop the most effective strategy to use this system to our advantage. Material from .gov sites is in the public domain, and is great for creating and improving entries. I will post more information on this later.
I like to edit topics that pertain to the things I am studying in school. Here is the method I suggest using, to maximize our points:
- . Read a portion of the textbook, and highlight important terms. If it is an American Government textbook, add all the terms to American Government Terms for a half point each.
- . Go back to the beginning of the section, and type the first highlighted term into the search box.
- . If the page does not exist, click the red link, and create it. Remember to put the information from the textbook in your own words. Use the textbook as one of your citations.
- . If the page already exists, read it. It is likely to need improvement. Add information from your textbook, and make the textbook a reference.
- . Do this for every highlighted term in the passage.
Adding links to the American Government Lectures is another great way to get points. To make a link, simply surround a word with two sets of brackets like: [[this]]. The first links count for two points, and the duplicate links count for one point, so if you make Congress a link ten times in lecture four, you get eleven points.
