[edit] Educational assignment

As a heads up to other editors, it appears that a school class somewhere has been set the task of editing Wikipedia to write about 1950s fashion - we've had a couple of edits to the Fashion article as well. --McGeddon (talk) 10:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I've no idea how this assignment has been presented, but a lot of the students seem to just be adding their own single, self-contained paragraph summarising the whole of 1950s fashion, rather than editing and improving each other's work, or working on any of the previously existing text.

If the class's teacher is reading this, they may like to read the considerations and suggestions for using Wikipedia as the medium for a school project. --McGeddon (talk) 13:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The quality of this article is really very poor - there are barely any references and most of it is unverified claims and original research. It's not what Wikipedia is about. Thespeakingcat (talk) 12:32, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Before the class teacher gave the assignment to her students to edit this article, she should have made them read Wikipedia's Manual of Style first. I don't mean to sound harsh but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a playground, and I think all the edits made after 1 July 2009 should be undone. The article as it now stands is a complete mess.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
