It offers suggestions for two ways to use\u2014and not to use\u2014Wikipedia. The first is as a source. The second is as a process guide. The chapter explores how Wikipedia is potentially useful both for generating ideas, finding sources, and determining search terms and for understanding some of the tasks frequently part of good research-based writing in first-year composition: reviewing, conversing, revising, and sharing. Some of what happens in making successful contributions to Wikipedia parallels some of what happens in producing effective research-based writing, and looking at Wikipedia can help to demystify these practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternate Downloads:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also download this chapter from Parlor Press or WAC Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Writing Spaces is published in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parlorpress.com\/\">Parlor Press<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\">WAC Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James P.
