Guidelines

• Divide the project into sections, that each member will work on.
  • Later you can all work together on the entree project.
• Collect references, on your discussion page and prepare summaries.
  • This will help others in the group understand what the paper is about.
• Collect images, on your discussion page that are correctly cited.
  • plaigarism and copyright issues will affect your final group mark.
• Balance text and images, do not have too muck of one or the other.
  • Remember this is an online project and not an essay, hold the readers attention.
• Avoid Editing your project page simultaneously with other group members, this may crash the project page and make loading slow.
  • Make small edits save regularly, do not leave the page open in edit mode for long periods.
  • Organise times when you alone will be editing the project.
• Avoid Wikipedia sourced content, you are permitted a maximum of 1 image from that source and no derived text.
