Hinweis der Redaktion
- Article tab: what most Wikipedia users read for information
- Discussion tab: Discussions of Moby-Dick fans/scholars/readers about what’s in the article (and should or should not be and their rationale for why)
- Take a look at this discussion, for instance, about whether or not Moby-Dick should be hyphenated
- The “History” tab is another level, where users can see the changes that have been made to the Moby-Dick article.
- Students were reading through all this information—but reading it consequentially—reading it through a framework of thinking about what they might contribute to the article. So they were checking facts, looking for gaps, and evaluating the validity of their knowledge—would the contributions they were considering be useful? Redundant? Would they be deleted?
- Becoming a member of the Wikipedia community
- Using the tools: Mark, a proficient Wikipedia user, taught everyone how to use the Sandbox feature to practice editing.
- It should be noted that the Moby-Dick Wikipedia community is an active one; the article was a nominee for a Language and Literature good article award. Facts from the article have been featured on Wikipedia’s main page 7 times, over a 4-year span. The editing talk page is 76 kilobytes long. In other words, this is an active, established community who seem to care deeply about the content.
