Each candidate page should begin with a brief biography, their picture, a link to their campaign website, and then a summary of their stances on the following issues:
 
  
−
# Tax Reform
+
===Event 1: International Affairs===
−
#Jobs and Business Policy
 
−
#Health Policy
 
−
#Drug Policy
 
−
#Middle East
 
−
#Trade
 
−
#Immigration
 
−
#Environmental
 
  
−
Make sure to get info from reliable source (their website, news, etc) and link that section of the wiki to the website '''(visibly cite your sources)'''. If their stance on an issue can't be found on their website, check what they say in debate transcripts, etc. The objective here is to get a large quantity of information about the candidates and organize it well. You can look at any of the in progress works if you want to see an example.

Revision as of 01:44, 22 January 2016

Citation code examples

See Ben Carson's page for an example of citation formatting.

A candidate's website should be cited using candidate initials followed by a "W". For example, Ben Carson's campaign website should be cited as (BCW), Donald Trump's website should be cited as (DTW), etc.

Information from the debates should be cited as the first letter of the party debating (Republican or Democrat, so R or D), followed by a D for debate, followed by the debate number (if it was the first debate, a 1, the second debate, a 2, etc) For example, if I wanted to cite the Republican's third debate, I would cite it as (RD3).

Any other websites unique and specific to information about your candidate, feel free to make up an acronym. Whatever acronym you use, be sure to list at the bottom of the wiki page accompanied by the link to said information.

To Do Future

After we've filled out this lump candidate information, some potential courses of action include (prioritize something along the lines of this order):

Then:

  • Reformatting to make pretty
  • Topic area pages
  • Read debate transcripts and filter what we think is important
  • Fact checking the things they claim
  • Link news articles / other sources
  • Poll numbers (although these fluctuate so often, is it worth it?)
  • Reformatting to make pretty
