  Ok I have completed the assignment. I started a P2PU university draft in my user space. I even tried to upload the logo but was told that cannot be done until a real P2PU wikipedia article has been started. But I did get to browse the requirements for uploading images or other media. Very enlightening tasks.

  Oh wow. Well done for making a P2PU Wikipedia article draft. I think I'd like to help too. We'll need to find some secondary sources.

  Being the risk taker I am, I uploaded my draft P2pU page. Apparently it goes through a vetting process before it is actually taken live. So let's see what happens.

  Oh nice. Thanks. I will check it out and also see if the P2PU page was actually published.

  Well my submission of the P2PU page was rejected. You can see the rejection notice here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Simkathy 

  I am not discouraged. Maybe there would be a way for all of us to improve it and submit again?

  Max: great job on launching the Peer to Peer University page. I will try to improve it from time to time. But first I should read up on quality standards.

  No, thank you for spurring it on. We should think about what sections we would like to expand or create. I basically was just summarizing the top news articles and journal abstracts I could find on the subject to get it passed the "article for creation" threshold.

  I can read and write elementary hebrew, so I added it to my userpage as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Notconfusing

  I am not sure how to grade my other languages (spanish, french, german). But congratulations for adding Hebrew. I wish I was more gifted with languages but sigh - I am not.

  Some people translate Wikipedia articles between languages to practice. That's a worthy idea for a rainy weekend.
