Plan

We will

• look at the various wikis and see how they interrelate.
• learn how to create internal and external links
• learn how to reference (and learn to reference every assertion)
• look at the rules of wikipedia

1. courtesy, courtesy, courtesy
2. no original research
3. reference everything

• discover templates and categories and start to use them
• upload CC BY-SA 4.0 images to illustrate our labours

That should keep us busy for a few sessions; I envision that for each session (after the first) I will prepare something which will deepen the understandings above, and that the rest of the session would be an editing session with help from me (and from other members of the class)

Working from a stub or a start

What's wrong with these articles? What do you think we might want to change?
Some stubs: Sclerolaena birchii, Gahnia trifida, Banksia glaucifolia, Pachysaga munggai
Some Australian start class articles

• Are all statements referenced?
• Inline referencing?
• Have we a description? Where might we find one? Does the article, as it stands, help us?
• How will we reference it?

Referencing

Adding a reference using

• the graphical interface for citation templates
• using the wikipedia reference generator (from DOIs)

Where to put them?

• inline (can make it difficult to read text, but you can use the "Segregate refs for editing" tool).
• Named references in a reference list

Reference resources

• Google scholar
• trove
• google
• libraries

It is permissible to cite material which is not available online.

Internal links

• setting them up
• finding them and disambiguating them

Start again

• Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in Natural History Wikipedia Editing Workshop
• Wikipedia training
• Victorian Honour Roll of Women (lots of red and many Australian institutions without links)
• Interactive local map: showing wikidata items with and without photos
• Trocadero ArtSpace
• Australian Paralympic Project (Tony Naar)
• Using wikidata (Toby Hudson)
• Slides for Toby's talk
• Wikijournals (DR THOMAS SHAFEE)

Wikidata
