I'm including the link you have just given here again... http://insidehighered.com/news/2007/10/29/wikipedia because i had difficulties opening it in your comment above (because of the period after it I think).

Maybe if your students feel a little intimidated about getting their grammar perfect before posting, you should try editing existing entries together. The featured entries are quite good, but it's not hard to find entries that need a lot of help. The bar really isn't that high. Also you might find this article about university-age students writing regular Wikipedia entries to be interesting: http://insidehighered.com/news/2007/10/29/wikipedia. In particular the problems they encountered are quite interesting. Hi Howard,
