Wikipedia:Meetup/EST2017 TranslationStudiesEditathon

This is a session organized by the European Society for Translation Studies based on preliminary events held in June 2015, January 2016 and September 2016. The goal of the Meetup is to improve the presence of Translation Studies related articles across several languages and encourage participation in the regular Wikiproject for Translation Studies, created in order to encourage regular updating of Translation Studies related wikis.

No previous Wikipedia editing experience is required and guidance will be provided during the duration of the event. You simply need to create your account before the Meetup begins. If you are interested in participating, please sign up below. Thessaloniki will act as the main hub, but remote participation is encouraged.

Materials explaining how to edit and translate entries are available below and a face-to-face session is scheduled for March 27, 9:00 to answer initial technical questions. You can leave the questions below and we will answer them.

FAQ
Q: How do I sign up on the MeetUp page?

A: You'll need to be logged in to Wikipedia. Go to the MeetUp page (i.e. this page you're reading now), to the RSVP section, and click 'edit' by the relevant section (i.e. participating at one of the hubs, or participating remotely from your own location). The edit page will come up with the list of existing participants. On the next line, type the hache key # followed by a space followed by four tildes (~), one after the other. Press 'save'. When you next look at the page, your username should appear as the next entry in the list of participants. (You can use the 'preview' button before saving the page to check if you've done it correctly).

Q: How do I put my name down for a specific article?

A: You can add your username next to the name of the article you would specifically like to edit (just click the 'edit' link by the relevant section header).

Q: Can I add articles to be edited/created/translated?

A: Yes, absolutely! Feel free to add the names of articles to be created, edited or translated by clicking the 'edit' link by the relevant section header, and editing the section.

Q: Is there a page where one can get an easy list (with explanations) of the Wiki commands you need to produce your text?

A: There is a very useful cheatsheet here:

Q: Which images can we include in our articles? Are book covers an option?

A: You can use covers of book no longer under international copyright, but when that is not possible the following regulations apply:. You can use them, but you have to justify why their use is important. In general, images you took are fine, as long as they were taken in public places or places where pictures are expected (e.g. a party) and they are not derogatory or unfair to the people in them. With regards to screenshots, the policy is similar to that of book covers: they are allowed as long as there is a reason to them:. American movies released between 1927 and 1977 are also ok.

Q: Are there any readily available templates for new articles?

A: Our suggestion is that you copy/paste from ready available wikis; find an article with a format which fits the article you are writing, and cut and paste the text from the article's 'Edit' window into the 'Edit' window of the article which you are creating.
