However, if for any reason, you do not want to form a team, you are free to work individually.

For new articles, participants are encouraged to use the assessment template to help structure their new Wikipedia page. For participants working in teams, Google Doc links will be provided to help facilitate workflow.

Online participation[edit] edit

Online participation is welcome! Please list your username and location that you are attending from.

Suggested topics[edit] edit

The following is a sampling of suggested articles to create or add upon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc. Advanced edits that could be made include, but are not limited to: adding limitations (if it is a measure), impact (if it is a measure), current projects (if a psychological association), history of topic.
