Using the Wikis

Each Arts 12 team has a wiki. The teams and wikis are listed on the Arts 12 Teams page. You can read all the wikis, but you can edit only your team's wiki.

The Arts 12 wikis are accessible only to participants in this course, and to visit them you will need to log in with your UCINetID and password. If you have difficulty logging in to the course wikis from computers outside the campus, you will need to try logging in from an on-campus computer or through the UCI VPN, accessible at https://vpn.nacs.uci.edu.

Your Contributions

All contributions to the course wikis must be your own work. Quotations consisting of small amounts of material from other sources are permitted as long as you clearly indicate the quoted material with a valid citation. Using the MLA style, provide title, author and page number for printed materials, and for web links provide the complete link with last accessed date.

Discussion/Talk Pages

Every article has its own discussion (talk) page where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections with other authors of the article. Click the Discussion tab to reach it. On discussion pages, you should sign your message by writing 4 tildes (~~~~). This inserts the current time and your wiki username.
