Wikipedia:School and university projects/MetRaZymes University of Stuttgart

This workshop will take place on June 6th and 7th, 2024 in collaboration between Wikimedia DE (or WMDE), German chapter of Wikimedia, and doctoral students of the program Network “Metal-Containing Radical Enzymes (MetRaZymes)” funded as Marie Skłodowska-Curie action. The training will be carried out by RudolfSimon, and Ideophagous.

The location is in Stuttgart, Universitätsstrasse 32 (Eingang über Universitätsstr. 34), Room U32.119

The Network MetRaZymes brings together chemists, physicists and biologists for research and training in the field of enzymes and proteins that contain metal ions. This research area is not yet well-covered in Wikipedia, but walks in the steps of other, similar programs around the world. During this two-day workshop, the students will learn how to create and edit relevant Wikipedia entries. This will then be followed by assignments (in collaboration with their Principal investigators) in which the students will have to edit Wikipedia to improve content and/or to create entirely new articles.

=How to edit Wikipedia= See: Editing Workshop for the general outline of the editing workshop.

The basics
Here is a link to tutorials that can help you edit Wikipedia: Tutorial and Training Materials.


 * Each assertion you type needs to be verifiable: Make sure that you add references to back up statements.


 * Your references need to be secondary sources: original research is not accepted as a reference.


 * Avoid plagiarism: This may include your own work, unless it is published under a free license allowing for commercial and noncommercial use. Plagiarism amounts to a breach of copyright, which violates Wikipedia policy. If you need to use work you have published under a copyright license, please, reformulate.


 * Neutral point of view: Articles should be written from a neutral point of view. You should represent fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.

=Useful templates= To be put both directly and between nowiki brackets in order to show the code.

Infoboxes
Some articles require infoboxes. Infoboxes always appear on the right hand side of articles, and have to be placed before the rest of the article's text.

Three examples
This is an example of the chembox (chemical compound infobox) for methane.

Here is the example for human hemoglobin, a protein, on the right hand side is the final result, beneath is the wikicode.

Here is the example for King-Wai Yau, a scientist: final result on the right, wikicode beneath this sentence.

How to cite references
An assertion needs to be backed with a citation. To introduce it in a Wikipedia article, you can rely on the visual editor for most cases (books, websites, articles). In certain cases, you will need to know the wikicode (for citing a thesis, for example). Below is an example of wikicode concerning an article, and further below, the links to the pages explaining how to cite books, websites, and thesis.

Journal articles
To achieve the following note, you can both rely on the visual editor, or use the following wikicode:
