Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of California, San Francisco/Expanding WikiProject Medicine Fall 2017 (Spring 2018)

Admit it! You use Wikipedia extensively. Who doesn't? But do you use it for medical information? Your patients do! So if Wikipedia is the most widely used medical reference in the world, and the third most visited medical reference in the US, why not be a part of increasing the quality of reliable information there by becoming a WikiProject Medicine editor? This course will teach you how.

Week 1
Monday 3/5 @undefined 9:30 - 4pm: Mission Hall, room 1405


 * Overview of the course
 * Understanding Wikipedia as a community, we'll discuss its expectations and etiquette.
 * 10am presentation by Evans &quot;Whit&quot; Whitaker about information retrieval strategies and resources available to you at UCSF
 * 11am presentation by Amin  to both UCSF and University of Central Florida (UCF) MS'4's enrolled in similar Wikipedia-editing course: &quot;Part of a bigger movement&quot;
 * 12 - 1:30pm: lunch on your own and complete all Wiki Ed assigned trainings
 * 1:30 - 3pm: discuss workplan, Wikiproject Medicine style guidelines, begin selecting articles
 * 3pm guest presentation by Rishi Desai about Osmosis and crowdsourcing

Tues 3/6 @undefined 10am - 4pm: Mission Hall, room 1405


 * 10am guest presentation by Jami Mathewson &amp; Will Kent: &quot;The larger Wiki Education Foundation movement&quot;
 * 11 - 12pm: Acrolinx reports, update on selected articles, collective editing
 * 12 - 1pm: optional free therapy about the stress of residency applications
 * 1 - 3pm: discuss expectations of peer-review, WP-WIP's, and Slack
 * 3pm on: residual Q&amp;A

Potential additional guest presentations (exact date and time TBD):


 * Guest presentation by James Heilman: &quot;The Importance of Wikipedia in Medicine Along With the Next Steps Towards Getting High Quality Health Information Out to Everyone&quot;
 * Guest presentation by Val Swisher about Translators Without Borders, Acrolinx reports
 * Guest presentation by Marilyn McEntyre about writing clearly

Presentation: Whit's powerpoint slides

Presentation: Amin's powerpoint slides

Handout: Editing Wikipedia

Handout: Evans Whitaker's library Ninja handout

Handout: Attendance Expectations

Handout: Workplan worksheet

Handout: Marilyn McEntyre's top tips on writing clearly

Link: the UCSF Pharmacy Students' FAQ document

Handout: Acrolinx Infection WP page word doc

Handout: Acrolinx Infection WP page markup doc

Handout: Acrolinx Infection WP page scorecard


 * Create an account and then complete the online training for students. During this training, you will make edits in a sandbox and learn the basic rules of Wikipedia.

This is where we think specifically about how editing Wikipedia as a medical student might differ from editing as a &quot;lay person.&quot;

Here's a link to a video we co-produced with Osmosis about &quot;Editing Wikipedia as a Health Professional Student&quot;:  https://youtu(.)be/7JbVdtR2ACc

By 10am on Friday 3/9 (e.g. before our first WP-WIP), 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 utilize the Acrolinx report that you will get for your article?
 * 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
This is to remind you that adding images to WP articles can be just as important as adding text. Here's the general information about doing that scope of work as part of your efforts:


 * Identify an article that would benefit from illustration, create or find an appropriate photo, illustration, or audio/video, and add it to the article.
 * All media uploaded to Wikipedia must fall under a &quot;free license,&quot; which means they can be used or shared by anyone. Examples of media you can use are photos that you take yourself, images and text in the public domain, and works created by someone else who has given permission for their work to be used by others. For more information about which types of media can be uploaded to Wikipedia, see Commons:Help desk.
 * To add a media file to an article, you must first upload it to Wikimedia Commons. For instructions on how to upload files to Commons, refer to Illustrating Wikipedia. This brochure will also provide you with detailed information about which files are acceptable to upload to Wikipedia and the value of contributing media to Wikipedia articles.
 * Note that the Fall 2017 UCSF Wikipedia course enrollees did an exceptionally good job of uploading and/or creating images themselves.  Try to outperform that group of students!

Based on our discussions on the first two days of class, it is my expectation that by Week 2 you will be editing your selected article(s) &quot;live&quot; on Wiki and not merely in your sandboxes!

These activities will occur in Mission Hall 2100 (not 1405) with remote participation capacity

Please perform peer reviews beginning on Thurs 3/21


 * Post your Review to the talk page of the article you are reviewing.
 * Aim for finishing your peer review BEFORE Tues 3/27!
 * What should a peer-review look like? During our discussion in class on Tues 3/6, we will define specific attributes we will itemize here.
 * Peer review of spring 2018:
 * insert co-created specifics here

'''How to conduct peer review? Themes/questions that might emerge:'''


 * Peer reviews are DUE by XXX.
 * Post the peer-review on the TALK page of the article you are reviewing.
 * Don't be afraid to use the phone or email as well as the talk page.
 * Consider reviewing prior students’ declaration of intended work, as well as prior students’ peer reviews.  All can be found on the talk pages of the articles they edited and peer-reviewed. Wide range in quality, but you can find all prior cycles of the elective here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/UCSF
 * Here'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.  Handout: wikipedia peer-review rubric

How to respond to the peer-reviewer's comments?

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

These activities will occur in Mission Hall 1405

On Fri 3/30 from 10 - 12pm we will convene for a 2 hour meeting to share accomplishments and discuss lessons learned. Final presentations will be structured as follows: round robin &quot;reports&quot; (maximum of 8 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?

We will conclude our meeting with a focus group about the elective overall. This will include:


 * Feedback about the guest consultants
 * Strategies for improvement for future cycles of the elective
