Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of California, Berkeley/PLP - Berkeley Interdisciplinary Research Group on Privacy - Coleman Lab (Fall 22)

The Privacy Literacy Project (PLP) is a recurrent project hosted by the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Privacy (IRGP). IRGP was founded at UC Berkeley during the summer of 2016. The semester long, discovery-oriented, research (and professional) skills training program focuses on the review, discussion, translation, and dissemination of privacy, surveillance, and cybersecurity knowledge to the public.

Week 1
Welcome to Privacy Literacy / Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through this Wikipedia project for our lab.

This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online training to help you get started on Wikipedia.

Our course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your &quot;user talk page&quot; for notes from them. You can also reach them through the &quot;Get Help&quot; button on this page.

To help you plan your time the Executive Director of the Lab and Leadership team have assigned a &quot;difficulty level&quot; to each week of work. These levels are based on the work of prior lab members. The goal is to help you determine, in advance, how much effort will be required. A Difficulty Level of 1 = easy effort; Difficulty Level 2 =  easy to moderate effort; Level 3 = moderate effort; Level 4 = moderate to intense effort; and Level 5 = intense effort. Check in ahead of time if you have questions and please make sure to plan accordingly.

**Please, please, please, please DO NOT SKIP AHEAD. This course is designed to build upon content learned and practiced in the prior weeks. It is important to understand each week’s work thoroughly before moving onto next week’s steps. This course site is also dynamic (meaning it changes). If you jump ahead you may start work that is ultimately moved to another week or not assigned. Concentrate on the work that has been assigned to you during the current week**

To get started, please review the following handouts:


 * Editing Wikipedia pages 1–5
 * Evaluating Wikipedia


 * Create an account and join this course page, using the enrollment link your instructor sent you. Please use your real name on the account but DO NOT not use your real name for your username. While this is not a requirement (not using your real name as your username), it will protect your privacy (which is something we care a lot about).
 * Because of Wikipedia's technical restraints, you may receive a message that you cannot create an account. To resolve this, please try again off campus or the next day. If you have ANY difficulty setting up your account (ex. block), please let us know immediately.
 * If you will be using Wikipedia from outside the United States and need to use a VPN, please see our lab intranet page for a document on VPN use and/or search for Wikipedia's FAQ on editing while using a VPN. Looking ahead, if you encounter an IP block, please reach out to our Wikipedia expert found under &quot;Details.&quot;

***When you finish the trainings, practice by introducing yourself (make sure you're logged in and sign with your username) to a classmate on that classmate's &quot;user talk page.&quot;***

'''***You are going to keep hearing the terms &quot;user talk page,&quot; &quot;sandbox,&quot; and &quot;article talk page,&quot; this semester. Let's make sure you understand what they all mean. Please write up the definitions of each in a word document and attach it to your memo this week. Make sure you also save a copy for yourself so you can reference it when you get confused.***'''

'''***In order to have your work checked for the duration of this course, you need to be logged into Wikipedia and the portal.*** '''



Please review the Berkeley library research guide for our lab. Also, attend the IRGP library skills workshop with American Cultures Librarian Corliss Lee if offered this semester; otherwise, review the library skills videos provided for our lab. Both the library research guide and videos are hyperlinked on our lab intranet page.

This week, everyone should have attended the library skills workshop and set up a Wikipedia account.

Start brainstorming interesting Privacy+ topics. Remember, this is the topic you will be working on for the semester. You will either start a brand-new Wikipedia page or substantially improve a stub-page (an underdeveloped, existing page). Include ten (10) potential Privacy+ topics in your memo this week. Not sure what to include? Bring a list of ideas and come talk to me in office hours on Friday.

=
Your first article will be the Wikipedia article about information privacy. For your second article, you may select an article of your choice on the topic of privacy, surveillance, or cybersecurity.

Read your two articles and use them to complete this exercise:  ======

Exercise
Evaluate an article


 * In  your sandbox, write up your answers to these questions for the two articles you reviewed. If you don't remember what your sandbox is and how to get there, take a look at the definitions you wrote up during week 1 or review the earlier training modules.


 * Optional (feel like showing off): Choose at least 1 question from the above list that is relevant to one of the articles you're evaluating. Leave your evaluation on the article's &quot;Talk page.&quot; Be sure to sign your feedback with four tildes (ex: Locnamehn (talk) 21:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)).

Now that you're thinking about what makes a &quot;good&quot; Wikipedia article, consider these additional questions. Send your answers out on the weekly email list by 11:59pm PST on Saturday. All you have to do is hit reply all.


 * Wikipedians often talk about &quot;content gaps.&quot; What do you think a content gap is, and what are some possible ways to identify them?
 * What are some reasons a content gap might arise? What are some ways to remedy them?
 * Does it matter who writes Wikipedia?
 * What does it mean to be &quot;unbiased&quot; on Wikipedia? How is that different, or similar, to your own definition of &quot;bias&quot;?

·          Ahead of the next lab meeting please narrow down your 10 Privacy+ topics to 5. Once you are done, send them out on your project team email list and add them to your personal Privacy+ document on the lab intranet page.

Next, take a look at the Privacy+ Topic Selection exercise. Please do the exercise yourself. Don’t worry if you are not sure how your topics are. The exercise will help you to flesh out your ideas and help us learn more about what you are interested in. Once you have completed the exercise completely - do ALL of the sections in the exercise - in your personal document, we will work on selecting a topic for you. Please complete the exercise by Saturday at 11:59pm so we have time to do our work. Topics will be announced in the next two weeks.

Your first &quot;IRGP Annotation&quot; will be assigned this week. Check your email!

Week 3

 * Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. Use the training here and the exercise below to complete this assignment.***

Exercise
Add a citation


 * Please add a couple sentences to a privacy-related Wikipedia article and cite the source you found that information in, or you can use the Citation Hunt Tool (search for “privacy” if you use this) to find statements that need citations.
 * This task will require you to perform a bit of research. Reach out to Naniette or to members of our larger team if you need help. Remember you have Berkeley Librarian Corliss Lee who is happy to help you! You can also write to your project team email list if you need a little help. Wikipedia also has a ton of resources to help you. Click the &quot;Get Help&quot; button and use them.

***In order to have your work checked for the duration of this course, you must be logged into Wikipedia and the portal.***

If you have not done so already, it's time to submit your privacy+ topic selection exercises to the lab leadership and get approval.

If you DO NOT HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC: At this point, it is probably because you were asked to add more information to your privacy+ exercise because it did not have enough detail. If you have not received a privacy+ topic article yet, plan to discuss your topic with the Executive Director of the lab and get the topic approved. Things are just starting to pick up (this is a level 3 week) and you do NOT want to fall behind.

If you HAVE AN APPROVED TOPIC: Assign your Privacy+ topic article to yourself in the article tab above. Please locate the section titled “My Articles” under the “Home” tab of the portal. There should be a button titled “Assign myself an article.” Click here to assign your Privacy+ topic article to yourself in the article tab above.

If you already have a topic assigned by the Executive Director of the Lab: It is time to find a few peer-reviewed articles (remember you need a minimum of 20 articles that are at least 15 pages long each - '''without tables, graphs, citations, etc). In your final annotated bibliography on your topic in ASA format) and start preparing your annotated bibliography if you have not already done so. If your article is too short you will end up having to do extra ones. We check article length during the semester and will let you know if this happens, but it is better to just follow directions and make good decisions so you don't have extra work to do.''' Remember, if you need help formatting your bibliography in ASA style, try out Citation Machine.

Remember you can reach out to Berkeley Librarian Corliss Lee or the larger research team for help on finding articles and you have a host of resources on how to do annotations that have been given to you. You have also already done an annotation on an article alongside members of the Lab. You can also send your questions out on your project team email list.


 * Review page 6 of your Editing Wikipedia guidebook.

***Based on our work so far this term, find your APPROVED privacy+ topic article  in the portal (assigned by the Executive Director of the lab), select it and assign it to yourself on the Students tab above if you have not already done so.***

Finalize your topic / Find your sources (only if assigned a topic by Executive Director)

***In your sandbox, write a few sentences about what you plan to contribute to the selected article or why you are creating this new article.***


 * ** Think back to when you did an article critique. What else can you add? Post some of your ideas in your sandbox.
 * Perhaps you might make an outline of your future article (or contribution) and also put that in your sandbox.
 *  If you don't remember what your sandbox is and how to get there, take a look at the definitions you wrote up during week 1 or review the earlier training modules. 


 * Start/Continue compiling a list of relevant, reliable, peer reviewed, journal articles. ***

All you have to do is hit reply all.


 * Blog posts and press releases are considered poor sources of reliable information. Why?
 * What are some reasons you might not want to use a company's website as the main source of information about that company?
 * What is the difference between a copyright violation and plagiarism?
 * What are some good techniques to avoid close paraphrasing and plagiarism?

Week 5
You've submitted your 5 areas of interest/possible topics, got one approved by the Lab Executive Director, compiled a list of at least 20 peer-reviewed articles of at least 15 pages each, created an ASA formatted bibliography, and you have completed 5 annotations (possibly more). If not, it is time to get moving on annotations.

'''***You will need to complete an additional 5-10 annotations by Saturday so you can receive feedback.  Please review all the feedback you receive and edit previous annotations before writing new ones. Please send your updated bibliography with new annotations out on your project team email list (and the ones you did last week...make sure you make the updates suggested by the team) in your individual shared document. Highlight new annotations in red. It is also time to start outlining your article (and writing) your article.***'''

'''*** Creating a new article?*** '''


 * Write an outline of that topic in the form of a standard Wikipedia article &quot;lead section.&quot; Write it in your sandbox.
 * A &quot;lead&quot; section is not a traditional introduction. It should summarize, very briefly, what the rest of the article will say in detail. The first paragraph should include important, broad facts about the subject. A good example is Ada Lovelace. See Editing Wikipedia page 9 for more ideas. If you get stuck, write to the group on your <span style="caret-color: #2c2c2c; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008000373840332px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 600; text-align: inherit;">project team email list with questions, look at other Wikipedia pages, use the &quot;Get Help&quot; button and, as usual, plan to send questions out on your project team email list.
 * Also, make an outline of additional sections you might include in your article and what might be in them. You made a list of interesting related Wikipedia articles and topics with their links as a lab during the lab exercise where we chose your topic, consider reviewing that too. You will need to link your page to others. Start thinking about that and make a new list. You will need that list for Saturday also.
 * If you don't remember what your sandbox is and how to get there, take a look at the definitions you wrote up during week 1 or review the earlier training modules.

'''
 * '''Improving an existing article?  ***


 * Identify what's missing from the current form of the article. Think back to the skills you learned while critiquing an article. Look at the example of a well done article (above).
 * If you get stuck, write to the group on your <span style="caret-color: #2c2c2c; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; text-align: inherit;">project team email list with questions, look at other Wikipedia pages, use the &quot;Get Help&quot; button and as usual plan to bring questions to the lab.
 * Make notes for improvement in your sandbox.

Start thinking about that and make a new list.  You will need that list for Saturday also.

Keep reading (and annotating) your sources as you begin to write the body of the article. Remember the magic number is 20 annotations on 20 peer reviewed articles of at least 15 pages (without citations, tables, graphs, etc).

Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9

Guiding framework


 * Review &quot;Peer Editing&quot; guiding framework training.
 * Make sure your article is ready to be peer-edited by Thursday at noon.
 * Beginning on Thursday at noon, select the two classmates’ articles that you were assigned in this week's email, assign them to yourself, and then peer edit and copy edit their articles. If you are not clear on what this means, Google both terms and also send a note to your project team email list.
 * Please put your peer edit in your labmate's &quot;User Talk Page.&quot; If you don't remember what your User Talk Page is and how to get there, take a look at the definitions you wrote up during week 1 or review the earlier training modules. Remember to edit the User Talk Page by adding a new section.
 * As you review, make spelling, grammar, and other adjustments. Pay attention to the tone of the article. Is it encyclopedic?

***Add five unique privacy, surveillance, or cybersecurity Wikipedia pages to the PLP Add 5/Edit 5 shared document for this semester and fill out all of the columns. Edit every page you add to the list. Possible Options: Add two sentences. Add a citation. Fix punctuation. Clarify a sentence or two.***

'''Don't forget to leave an edit description so other Wikipedians know what you edited. If you have issues editing articles in the mainspace (ex. VPN is blocked), email the Wikipedia Content Expert and CC the Wikipedia coordinator.'''

Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles. Every article has been reviewed at least twice.

You should have some feedback from other students in your &quot;User Talk page&quot; (and possibly other Wikipedians). It's time to review and work with that feedback in order to improve your article!


 * Read Editing Wikipedia pages 12 and 14.
 * Return to your draft or article and think about the suggestions. Decide which ones to start implementing. Reach out to your instructor or your Content Expert if you have any questions.
 * ***Include a copy of your article draft, peer feedback, and what you have done in response to peer feedback in your weekly memo.***

 * Other editors may be reviewing your work also, so look for their comments! Be sure to acknowledge feedback from other Wikipedians.
 * If you don't remember what your User Talk Page is and how to get there, take a look at the definitions you wrote up during week 1 or review the earlier training modules. Remember to edit the User Talk Page by adding a new section.

***Include a copy of your article draft, peer feedback, and what you have done in response to peer feedback in your weekly memo.***

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; add images and other media.

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

Watch the Blog Writing workshop this week to learn about blog writing in general and your assignment in particular!

Do some deep breathing exercises. Do a few extra reps at the gym. Phone a friend. Have some chocolate. Power pose. Meditate. Relax. Do whatever you need to do to prepare yourself. Your article needs to be uploaded to the mainspace by the end of next week. Remember you can continue to edit it. You just need to get it up there! Remember how this all started....Be Bold!

Week 9
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.


 * Read Editing Wikipedia page 12 to see how to create links from your article to others and from other articles to your own. Try to link to 3–5 articles, and link 2–3 other articles to your article.
 * Consider adding an image to your article. Wikipedia has strict rules about what media can be added, so make sure to take the 'Contributing Images and Media Files' training before you upload an image.

This is the opportunity to challenge yourself and express your expertise of knowledge on your topic subjectively. This original piece will take the form of a professionally written academic blog of 500 to 1000 words with an attached bibliography of at least 5 academic sources. These can be pulled from your bibliography on your Wikipedia page.

Brainstorm 5 blog topics this week and add them and a few sentences about what you might write for each to your personal blog document. Think back to the zoom video that we saw in lab last week. What audience are you trying to reach?

Week 10
Make sure all of the recommended edits have been completed. Once they have, submit your annotations.
