Digital Artists Wiki Project Assignment
Assignment Description
For this assignment, you will write and publish a wiki-style article about a digital artist/technology of your choice on Wikiversity.[1] You should begin by finding an article stub that needs to be developed or identifying a potential artist whose work is not featured currently. Remember that you are writing for the Wikiversity community and your article will be judged and graded on Wikipedia publishing standards.[2]
Instructions
1. Create a user Profile here:
Special:CreateAccount
User Guidelines can be found here: Wikiversity:Introduction
2. Choose a Topic
You may choose any topic related to digital art and technology from any time period. Try to find a topic that's important to you and not already featured on wikipedia. In case you have difficulties finding a topic, please feel free to consult with your instructor.
Please note that each student must choose a unique topic.
Once you have selected a digital artist, post your artist’s name along with your name under the Fall 2019 header. Please check that no one else has elected to work on the same artists. Example:
* ~~~~[[Digital Media Concepts/YOUR PAGE TITLE]]
for example
* ~~~~[[Digital Media Concepts/Wafaa Bilal]]
produces:

3. Create your page using the following:
This template can help get you started: Template
Links
A wikilink (or internal link) links a page to another page within English Wikipedia. In wikitext, links are enclosed in doubled square brackets like this:
[[abc]]
is seen as abc
External links use absolute URLs to link directly to any web page. External links are enclosed in single square brackets (rather than double brackets as with internal links), with the optional link text separated from the URL by a space
[http://www.example.org/ link text]
will be rendered as: link text
When no link text is specified, external links appear numbered:
[http://www.example.org/some-other-page]
Links with no square brackets display in their entirety
http://www.example.org/
displays as http://www.example.org
