Detail | Dr. Jon Beasley-Murray, Assistant Professor in Latin American Studies at the University of British Columbia, co-ordinated the Wikipedia educational project ‘Murder, Madness, and Mayhem’. The collective goals were to have students write a selection of articles on Latin American literature and bring the articles to featured article status (or as near as possible). By project’s end, after just one semester, they had promoted three articles to Featured Article status, eight to Good Article status, and one to B-Class status. |
