Manual of Style

et up an account on Wikipedia.2. In addition to its 5 Pillars, WP has many, many policy pages and guidelines to help write your entry. You may want to consult some of these policies so your work is done appropriately. What you will quickly learn is that each policy leads to more policies. (Note: Each of these policies references other resources, such as tutorials and related concepts, to help you better understand and apply these concepts.)Wikipedia: Neutral point of view (or WP:NPOV)Wikipedia: VerifiabilityWikipedia: Identifying reliable sourcesWikipedia: Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sourcesWikipedia: Manual of style3. Write your entry in your own language. Avoid quoting long passages from the original source because Wikipedia now has a Turnitin-type program that automatically deletes word-for-word copied entries. Feel free to email me to review your contribution before you submit it to ensure the grammar, punctuation, etc. is accurate.Purpose of this assignmentThis assignment helps develop your information literacy (or information competence) because you are working with a significant resource of information (Wikipedia) that allows you to better analyze the usefulness of that resource and the general concepts of information literacy.
