Please prepare your contributions to WIkipedia (including contributions to your main article and any made to other related articles, including links and references), following the instructions below.
• If you created or rewrote an entire article, you can submit two documents: one with your final article and one of the original article. If you are the only person who has edited your article, take a screenshot or make a PDF (instructions below) of the entire article to submit. Please indicate in your Contribution Description that this is the case so it is clear that all the work you’re submitting is your own.
• If you have only changed or added to part of the article, do not create a PDF that includes large amounts of text you have not contributed to. In such cases, take screen shots of the parts you have contributed to or revised and compile those together in a word document or PDF.
• Please highlight in YELLOW the parts of the article that you added or changed.
• The font size must be large enough for me to easily read it when the PDF is printed (the equivalent of size 14).
How to create legible PDF’s and screenshots of a Wikipedia article You can create a PDF of a Wikipedia article by going to the Print/ Export area on the left-hand side of the Wikipedia page. You will see three options; pick the one that says “Printable Version.” Click print to open the print dialogue box and then hit pdf to open print preview. You can then take screen shots of the larger sized text that this window affords or save the entire article as a PDF. You can read a brief description of how to do this at http://www.ehow.com/how6813102save-print-preview-pdf.html
• Alternatively, you can take larger sized screen shots by zooming-in on the screen in Firefox and Google Chrome by pressing “Control” or “Ctrl” and scrolling up. Then you can take your screenshot and the font will be larger.
Highlighting The highlighting can be done in three ways: highlighting in Word; taking a screenshot of your article on Wikipedia and highlighting; or making a PDF of your article and highlighting.
