The instructor's role in cleaning up bad articles

Your expertise is critical when it comes to evaluating the quality of your students' work. Ideally, with your feedback students can address major problems in their articles before the Wikipedia assignment is over. But if you've identified major problems with a student's contributions to a live Wikipedia article and it's too late for that, we need your help to fix it.

While it's not required for you to fix your students' contributions yourself, we'd love for you to give it a try. Many instructors do this at the end of the term or shortly afterwards. This training module covers the basics of how to go about that.

If you don't plan on fixing major problems that your student(s) introduced in an article, please use the "Quality Problems" form to let us know what's wrong with it. Our Wiki Experts can use your report to repair the article later on, either by fixing the major problems or by removing the student contributions. The more details you can provide — especially for problems that won't be obvious to a lay reader — the more helpful it will be.
