General instruction
  • You are going to see history of pages on Wikipedia to learn how volunteers collaboratively develop content and media. We would like you to learn from the edits made by our students in the past terms. The list of terms, students and articles can be found at user:Taweetham/WEP.
  • All tasks must be answered by using Special:Diff. See Help:Diff for further detailed instructions and see an example below
Tasks
  1. Read WP:NOT. Find an example of student edit on an article AND warning message that the student received on his/her talk page.
  2. Read Wikipedia:Edit warring. Find an example of student edits on an article (it requires several edits to be an edit warring) AND warning that the student received on his/her talk page.
  3. Read WP:COPYVIO. Find an example of a student who has been warned about it on his/her talk page. Find an example (Wikipedia diff on an article) where copyrighted media (image, VDO or sound files) is deleted from Wikimedia Commons and removed from an article.

Please leave your answer below. (Leave a reply in this section of your talkpage.) --Taweetham (talk) 16:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

ICCH103 Week 03

edit

Please propose a topic or two that you wish to write on Wikipedia. You should read all related articles/policies on Wikipedia and provide the following information.

  1. Your proposed article(s) (New or existing STUB article relating to a chemical compound, reaction, equipment or technique - or related to your major/interest. (see Category:Stub-Class Chemistry articles))
    • For new article, explain briefly why it passes WP:NOTE.
    • For existing topics, explain briefly the state/structure of the current article.
      • Is the structure & existing content appropriate?
        • If not, restructure or remove content as per WP:MOS and WP:NOT before you move to the next stage.
  2. Brief outline of your contributions to the article
    • In what section & what content
      • Make sure it belongs to the article and it is encyclopedic. See WP:NOT for things that should NOT be added.
      • Make sure that it is not redundant to existing articles. Use Google search "site:wikipedia.org" rather than Wikipedia search.
    • References for the article
    • Media files (photo/VDO/drawing) to be used in the article.
      • You may suggest plan to create your own work and upload to Wikimedia Commons
      • You may use existing media on Wikimedia Commons. Use Google image search "site:wikimedia.org" rather than Wikimedia Commons search.
  3. Examples/template/related articles that you will use as a model to develop your nominated article.
    • In terms of WP:MOS/formatting - your article will have similar style/format/tone to these articles.
    • In terms of content - your article will link to or will be linked from these articles.

  1. Proposed articles
    • Sodium amalgam
      • The article contains basic description, structure and compositions, preparation, and uses of this chemical. This article still missing basic informations such as chemical safety, identifier, and chemical properties. Photo and video can also be added.
    • Aluminium amalgam
      • There is no clear structure to this article, the only subtopic is reactivity. This article still missing basic information such as chemical safety, identifiers, and chemical properties. The information on preparation uses and disposal can have their own subtopics. Photo and video can also be added.
  2. Brief outline
  3. Examples/template/related articles

--Thanatad (talk) 17:06, 30 September 2020 (UTC)Reply


Hi Thanatad. Thanks for your reply. Before I approve the topic, please see the following comments

  1. Due to safety concern, we do not allow you to do an experiment involving mercury. Therefore, you may not be able to get the photos or videos that you plan to include in the article.
  2. amalgam = alloy = colloidal. It is not a solution nor compound. The {{chembox}} is usually used for a compound rather than mixture/colloid/solution.

For these reasons, I would like you to reconsider your proposal again. Please submit the new topic(s) by this weekend. --Taweetham (talk) 12:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply


  1. Proposed articles
    • Tocopheryl acetate
      • The article contains basic description, use in cosmetic, misuse, and chemical property. The information on pharmacology and recommended dietary of this chemical can be added.
  2. Brief outline
  3. Examples/template/related articles

ICCH103 Week 04

edit

Your topic is approved and added to the course page. Please develop the proposal into the first draft in your sandbox.

  • For existing article, you may copy some parts of the existing article to your sandbox to see how revision/integration of content would work. You will copy the code back to the article at later stage.
  • For new article, you may want to copy parts of a template article to your sandbox to see what sections are necessary. The sandbox will be moved to the article namespace at later stage. Please do not click "Submit your draft for review!". The function is not applicable to our course.

In all cases, do not copy more than what is necessary. For example, do not copy any categories to your sandbox. --Taweetham (talk) 01:51, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

I see your attempt to establish a table of RDA in the sandbox. Please be mindful of WP:NOT. If you cannot find a similar table in a comparable article, it is highly likely to be WP:NOT. --Taweetham (talk) 00:59, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your concern, the RDA table I made is modeled from Vitamin A - Dietary recommendations. I also do not think that I am violating any WP:NOT, but please let me know if I did. --Thanatad (talk) 07:44, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

ICCH103 Week 05

edit

Your work has been reviewed. Majority of the content/formatting is ok. Please carefully move encyclopedic part of your sandbox to article namespace so that the general public can see it. Here are some tips to help you complete the transition to online editing.

  1. Content/Formatting policies
  2. Technicalities
    • Unlike sandbox, all edits will be public immediately and it is important to make sure that all of your edits are acceptable. You may use preview button and provide edit summary to help you.
    • Any "page save" on Wikipedia even outside article namespace is permanently recorded and can be retrieved by the public. Please think carefully before you click save and before you revert other people edits. No work is lost but only the latest version of the page is shown to the public. Deletion of pages (or versions of pages) is only possible by admins if it falls under Wikipedia:Deletion policy. You can request admins to do deletion or other prescribed tasks should the need arises.
    • You may want to set watchlist and notifications so that you can catch up with changes made to your article and your talk page by other editors.
  3. Community interactions
    • You will be interacting with other volunteers when you make edits on the article namespace. Please respect other users in the community and assume good faith.
    • If your work is reverted or modified in any other ways, do not engage in a edit war. Rather use discussion page of your article to settle issues.
    • You may be blocked from Wikipedia for failure to observe community rules.

We hope you enjoy seeing product of your hard work read by many people in the years to come. --Taweetham (talk) 06:48, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

The table in your sandbox is actually the same as the table in Vitamin_E#Recommendations. Please find something else that you can do. --Taweetham (talk) 06:10, 12 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please consider the following points for your contributions to the article Dragendorff's reagent:

  1. What isomer of tartaric acid is needed? Does the stereochemistry of the acid play any role with detecting alkaloid? Does it need to be tartaric acid?
  2. Please show the reaction that lead to the orange or orange-red precipitate. It is not clear from the article how the reagent work.
  3. Please reconsider the use of Ref 1 10.5897/JPP.9000024 as it may be in a predatory open access journal. (Please reply in Talk:Dragendorff's_reagent#Removal_of_a_citation_to_a_paper_published_in_Beall-list_journal.)

For your information, the grading is based on the criteria below: Wikipedia contributions must meet the minimum quantity requirement to be graded.

Quantity
  • We generally expect at least 5,000 characters (counted by xtools's authorship attribution) to the assigned article unless you upload media file(s) and/or help contribute to classmate article(s).
  • If media are created by you, uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons and used in the article, either 1,000 or 2,000 or 3,000 characters credit will be given, regardless of the number of media uploaded.
    • 1,000 characters credit will be given to sound files(s).
    • 1,000 characters credit will be given to image(s).
    • 2,000 characters credit will be given to video(s).
  • If you help classmate(s) to edit their articles or create media files for uses in classmates' articles, up to 1,000 bytes of your contributions may be counted. Your classmate(s) must remain in the Wikipedia assignment program at the end of the term so that the articles can be counted.
  • All of the work must be created by you and recorded under your username.
  • No outstanding WP:COPVIO issues for both text and media.

The work will be graded based on quality and process criteria:

Quality

Learn from similar articles on Wikipedia (preferably higher quality than the article you are working on).

  • Structure
  • Content
    • All information are relevant to the article and written in encyclopedic tone. (Understand WP:NOT.)
    • Text are clearly supported by reliable sources. (Follow WP:REF.)
    • Do final clean up and proofreading.
  • Formatting & housekeeping
    • Formatting (citation e.g. {{cite web}}}, {{cite journal}} and {{cite book}}, heading styles, bullet/numbered point, font face, table, position/layout/caption of images etc.)
    • Other issues (course tag on talk page of your article, make sure you add categories to your article(s) and media)
    • File names in Wikimedia commons or reference name in the article should be sensible and helpful for other editors.
    • Unnecessary files, pages e.g. redirection are nominated for deletion.
    • To produce desired formatting, learn from source codes of other articles on Wikipedia or ask classmates/other Wikipedians.
Process
  • Complete the assignment on time.
  • Understand Wikipedia articles and policies by independent reading.
  • Take appropriate action on comments given by the community/instructor.
  • Provide edit summary for every edit on the article namespace.
  • If conflict arises, do not engage in edit war. Use talk page/discussion pages to resolve the issue.
  • Help improve classmates' articles.
  • Thank other editors/reviewers of your article.

  1. Please give further details for the statement "different colors: yellow, orange, red, and brown, which depend on the nature of alkaloids" in the article.
  2. Think twice before using {{Chembox}}. See an example of Benedict's reagent. If the test solution is made of a number of chemicals, it may not be appropriate to use ChemBox.

--Taweetham (talk) 05:11, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

For {{Chembox}}, I want to put it in Bismuth oxynitrate using information from Bismuth subnitrate. --Thanatad (talk) 05:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Good idea. The article may need multiple chemboxes. The work in #1 is still outstanding. Please work one this asap. --Taweetham (talk) 15:54, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

I see that you are good at ChemBox now. The compound with CAS Number 13595-83-0 will need a box too in the same article. I think you can do this easily. --Taweetham (talk) 03:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please carefully check your contributions. I will give the final grade on Wikipedia Assignment within this week. --Taweetham (talk) 05:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
