'''Write a Wikipedia Article for Law School Credit — Really?''' - scientific work related to [[Wikipedia quality]] published in 2016, written by [[John C. Kleefeld]] and [[Katelyn Rattray]].

== Overview ==
Most law school assignments are produced and consumed in a dyadic relationship of student-writer and instructor-reader. But consider a different scenario, one in which the fate of the work is presumptive publication to the world; in which feedback from any interested reader is potentially instantaneous; in which the instructor’s role is that of coach or mentor through the writing and publishing process as well as assessor of the work; and in which the student’s work, in turn, contributes to providing worldwide access to free legal information. The world authors are talking about is that of writing or editing [[Wikipedia]] articles for law school credit. In this Article, authors describe that world and the small part authors played in it as law professor and law student in editing a Wikipedia article as an optional component of an upper-year Canadian law school course.In Part I, authors set out some of the background to Wikipedia. This includes a discussion of its history, philosophy and policies; the relationship between Wikipedia and higher education; and the relationship between Wikipedia and law. In this Part, authors make a pedagogical case for turning law students from “consumers” to “producers” of Wikipedia’s legal content. In Part II, authors talk about what authors did as professor and student in the course, focusing on the editing of a specific Wikipedia “stub” article — that is, an article clearly in need of editing and further development. In Part III, authors consider the assessment of student contributions to Wikipedia. This includes a discussion of various rubrics and the Wikipedia Education Project Syllabus, which provides a general template for a twelve-week course emphasizing Wikipedia content. Part IV summarizes reflections on the exercise, including both its limitations and opportunities. The Appendix provides some links to resources for professors and students who want to experiment with writing or editing Wikipedia articles for law school credit.
