Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Osmosis/Osmosis Wikipedia-editing course Summer 2022 (Summer 2022)

Admit it! You use Wikipedia extensively. Who doesn't? But do you use it for medical information? Your patients do! Wikipedia is now the most widely used medical reference in the world. This course will help you better understand the WP “ecosystem” including WikiProjects, Translators Without Borders, and the offline Wikipedia health app. And you will join a community of health professional students who are improving the quality of health information on Wikipedia.

Welcome to your Wikipedia course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for this course, with links to training modules and our collective workspaces.

Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.


 * Overview of the course &amp; your intros to each other
 * Understanding Wikipedia as a community, we'll discuss its expectations and etiquette.
 * Presentation by Amin: &quot;Becoming a Wikipedian in health professional school&quot;



Tasks to complete before the subsequent session:


 * Complete all Wiki-Ed training modules
 * Orient yourself to Wikiproject Medicine's project page
 * Begin selecting what page you will work on during this course



Resources:


 * shortcut to course folder on gDrive
 * shortcut to participant directory
 * shortcut to Amin's presentation on &quot;Becoming a Wikipedian in health professional school&quot;

These are the Wiki Ed produced training modules that I believe are important and relevant to our work in this course. You are expected to complete all of them by the end of Day 1 of the course.

These are additional training modules that are especially relevant to you as medical students. You are expected to complete these by the end of Day 2 of the course.

We're going to use slack as our asynchronous communication platform. Here are details:


 * 1) Amin has already added you to the channel &quot;#wiki_summercourse2022&quot;
 * 2) You can create any needed additional channels for work teams.  Be sure to add Amin to those channels so he can contribute PRN (as needed)

<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 15.008px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">

By ONE HOUR BEFORE you participate in WIP#1 (e.g. before  we start the zoom meeting), post your final Workplan to your selected Wikipedia's talk page, so that you can engage with the Wikipedian community members who are interested &amp; actively following your article. If you are working on a team, I want you to be explicit about what section(s) you will individually be responsible for.

Consider explicitly declaring any/all of the following (but don't feel limited to these):


 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Which sections will you prioritize?
 * What resources do you intend to look up, and when?
 * How will you decide what things (signs, symptoms, side-effects, etc.) to explicitly include? To explicitly exclude?
 * Will you also embed additional links to other Wiki pages?
 * How will you ensure you avoid &quot;doctor-speak&quot; and not use jargon?

Week 2
A month-long sumer course may feel like a long time, but it's remarkably short for this kind of work! I expect each of you will have begun making edits live on Wikipedia (e.g. not merely in your sandboxes) before the end of this week.

Please perform peer reviews beginning on Mon 7/4


 * What should a peer-review look like? During our WPPR discussion in class on Tues 6/15, we will define specific attributes we will itemize here.
 * Peer review of summer 2022:
 * Review for grammar and syntax, especially all the parts that were newly written
 * Double-check a few references to ensure it seems like it's accurately cited and
 * Consider whether the article follows the Wikiproject Med guidelines for formatting, section headers, etc.
 * Oh and of course everything below?
 * Consider reviewing the author's original workplan and see if they made any changes to their workplan.
 * Look at the talk page to see if there has been any responses from other wikipedians, especially regarding the work plan
 * Offer suggestions on things to add that might be missing from the page
 * Be specific on what suggestions you're making belong where in the article
 * <span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"> Peer review of summer 2021:
 * Read the page that my peer worked on!
 * Correct any spelling or grammar mistakes you see
 * Look for missing citations, look for copyright violations
 * Read their workplan
 * Check the validity of a few citations
 * Ensure neutrality for any controversial topics/domains
 * Look at the sequence and readability of the text-- remember this is not just for other medical students!
 * Look at the images-- make sure they're not copyright violations
 * Look for the format/structure and that it adheres to the Wikiproject Medicine style guide
 * Feel free to look at the prior Osmosis Wiki editing courses (summers 2019, 2020) for other examples of peer-review
 * <span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;">Point out overuse of jargon?
 * Below there's a link to a grading rubric that Wiki Ed offers for evaluating student contributions to Wikipedia articles.  While we will NOT formally use the point system, it does provide a nice complement to our &quot;home-grown&quot; peer-review process.

 * Peer reviews are DUE by beginning of WP-WIP #4
 * Post the peer-review on the TALK page of the article you are reviewing.

Thinking about Wikipedia

Exercise
Add links to your article

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

Week 4
BEFORE we start our WIP#4 on Tues 7/5 @undefined <span style="font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 600; font-size: 15.008px; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif;">6pm Pacific, ALL peer-reviews should have been completed and posted to the talk page of the page being reviewed.

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

How to respond to the peer-reviewer's comments? We'll insert this here during class discussion on Mon 7/5


 * Consider incorporating all their suggestions as best you can in the remaining time of our course
 * Respond professionally
 * Where you disagree with your peer-reviewer explain why you disagree

Resources:


 * Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
 * Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!

Final presentations will be structured as follows: round robin &quot;reports&quot; (maximum of 10 minutes each) from each of you as follows:

 * What did I accomplish this month (broad overview)?
 * What did I learn?
 * What will I take forward with me into the future?
 * Now in hindsight, is there anything I would have done differently?
