 Cochrane Campbell Global Ageing Partnership: ARCHIVED PROJECTS

2016 Cochrane-Global Ageing Wikipedia Project
Starting participants are with Wikipedia support from

Developed articles
All Wikipedia articles which participants in this project have been developed are reported on the project dashboard.

Here is a select list of some of the edited articles, followed by a demonstration of the changes made:
 * Dementia, edited by, with many changes between 4-30 November
 * Physical exercise, edited by, with many changes between 30 October and 2 December
 * Falls in older adults, edited by, with many changes between 5 November and 2 December

Note that Wikipedia creates a collaborative editing experience. When Cochrane contributors make changes to articles, that activity attracts other Wikipedia editors to edit the article as well. The history log for each article records what everyone contributed, but in general on Wikipedia, whenever someone starts intense editing as happened here then all sorts of people join to comment and collaborate in all sorts of ways.

Timeline

 * October 2016


 * On October 1, 2016 for the International Day of Older Persons, Cochrane Global Ageing was established with this Wikipedia project among the first projects
 * Adding evidence to Wikipedia: editing workshop - At the October 2016 Cochrane Colloquium, this collaboration with Wikipedia was announced.
 * As a pilot program, the Wikipedia community and the Global Ageing team modeled the collaboration after the established "Wikipedia Visiting Scholars" program. In this program, an institution like Cochrane invites researchers to use their publications to develop Wikipedia articles. Using an established Wikipedia partnership model helped the Wikipedia community to understand Cochrane's intentions in the collaboration and what roles participants could play to support each other.
 * October-November 2016 class series - a group of 6 Cochrane community members participated in a 4-week class series to learn about Wikipedia.
 * November 2016


 * Project update: As of 31 November 2016, the Dashboard which was tracking progress reported that the 6 participants had edited 29 Wikipedia articles 491 times. The team added 4800 words. The edited articles had been viewed by 1 million readers after being edited.
 * December 2016

Technology limitations make it difficult to check metrics for arbitrary points in time, but to see the current report, visit the Dashboard.
 * Project update: As of 20 December 2016, the dashboard reported that the 6 participants had edited 63 Wikipedia articles 698 times. The team added 8380 words. The edited articles had been viewed by 2.66 million readers after being edited.

Lessons log

 * Lesson plan (link)
 * We will create a Lessons Log using PRINCE2® (Projects IN Controlled Environments) methods PRINCE2. This will be our Cochrane/Global Ageing project repository for lessons that apply to this Cochrane Wiki project or future Cochrane Wiki projects. Some lessons may originate from other Cochrane Wiki projects and others may originate from within this Cochrane Wiki project. This will mean that new experiences (benefits and harms in Cochrane speak) can be passed on to others.
