Talk:The US Civil War/Week 1

Hello,

this seems to be only a copy from Wikipedia's article American Civil War Why don't we make a learning experiment now with this and try to rephrase this in our own words or use Wikipedia's article to generate information or a better learning experience on another level ?

 * "A duplication of other Wikimedia projects. While Wikiversity complements other Wikimedia projects, it will not simply duplicate their content. So, if you want to read about a topic, you may be better off visiting, say, Wikipedia or Wikibooks, but if you want to learn about this topic, you can do so at Wikiversity. Learning materials will be created and used on Wikiversity, but materials on other projects may also be used as learning materials themselves or even places to consolidate this learning, i.e. writing an article, manual etc based on what you've learned. There may be some overlapping, but each project will maintain its own focus."

Erkan brings up a good point. I've began re-working this page and several other pages on The US Civil War in order to create a learning experiance and not just a rework of the Wikipedia page. Learning assignments will be created shortly and hopefully by the end of May 2013 these pages will be fixed. I've deleted most of the material in this page because it's just a copy and paste of the Wikipedia article on the Civil War. The page is still under construction KonKweesta (discuss • contribs) 13:53, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
