So that you can engage with the Wikipedian community members who are interested &amp; actively following your article, post your Workplan on the talk page of your selected Wikipedia article.



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 * Is any information out of date?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?

Review pages 4-7 of the Evaluating Wikipedia brochure. This will give you a good, brief overview of what to look for in other articles, and what other people will look for in your own.

Due by the end of the week (Oct 30th)

Resources:  Evaluating Wikipedia<span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;">,

By the end of the week, everyone should have made an account, selected a topic and posted their work plan!

Excellent work!

Week 2
To be discussed at the weekly WIP meeting:

A major source of healthcare information from our patients is from Dr. Google. With increased access to knowledge online, comes the dangers of inaccuracy. How can we be a part of that conversation outside of the face-to-face office interaction?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4448244/

Assignment:

Read through the above article about the reliability of Google and come prepared to the weekly meeting to discuss your thoughts on the subject. C<span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">onsider what the consequences of inaccurate information on your chosen medical wiki might be. Locate and read the liability information on the medical wiki. <span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">Should medical wikis be subject to FDA or other oversight?

This meeting is just get a short update from everyone about where they are at with choosing a topic and creating a work plan.

Week 3
It is safe to say that with the ever-increasing accessibility of the internet, our world is becoming smaller and closer together. It has also allowed us to become privy to the extent of human knowledge at a very fast pace. This means that discoveries made on one side of the world that once took years to get to the other, are now avaibile at a moments notice. This begs the question then, how can collaboration shape the way we diagnose and treat our patients?

Assignment: watch the first episode of the show &quot;Diagnosis&quot; on Netflix.

Come prepared to the weekly meeting to discuss your thoughts on the subject.

Work on helping your classmates by conducting peer reviews:


 * Post your Review to the talk page of the article you are reviewing.
 * Aim for finishing your peer review  BEFORE   Wed

How to conduct peer review? :


 * Make sure it's understandable to the indended WP audience
 * Make sure we include appropriate sources, mostly NOT primary literature.  But OK to use primary literature when there is no secondary literature
 * Also OK to use closed-access resources
 * Look at the workplan and compare/contrast to actual work done
 * Don't be harsh on your classmate
 * Spot check a few links to ensure links are not broken
 * Ensure structure of article flows understandably
 * Follow readability guidelines (no sentences longer than 26 words)
 * Lots of periods, few commas or semicolons

Week 4
https://zoom.us/j/95982889438

The world is constantly changing. What was once represented by a blurb in medical education reference books has become one of the most relevant topics of today; coronavirus. Therefore, Wikipedia articles that are visited more frequently have the higher burden of accuracy. T<span style="color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">he ”rate of returning visitors” (RVR) is a major measure of success for any web resource. <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">How does your article fare in this battle for viewership? <span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: inherit;">

Readings:


 * Google Analytics overview
 * Article on RVR
 * Dr. Azzam's student's success story

Assignment:

Using one or more search engines (e.g., Google, Bing, Yagoo, Baidu etc.) of your choice, try to discover some of the content of your chosen medical wiki. Come prepared to the meeting ready to  comment on where the search results appear (if at all) and how this might impact traﬃc to the medical wiki. Are search engines the best way for new users to discover medical wiki content? What are other methods that might also be effective?

Use the final week of the course to respond to your peer-reviewer's suggestions. Additionally:


 * Leverage the Wikipedian community members who are interested in your article
 * Consider replying to the peer review directly on the talk page of your article
 * If you disagree with your peer reviewer, explain your rationale

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!

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.
