Edinburgh Gothic
[edit]
I am at a training session at the National Library of Scotland today about the Wikipedia[1], named "Edinburgh Gothic" on the Saturday 12 November 2016, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm.
This workshop is about: Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? On Saturday 12th November 2016, the University's Information Services team are partnering with the National Library of Scotland to run an edit-a-thon to celebrate Robert Louis Stevenson Day 2016. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given in the morning before a break for lunch. Thereafter the afternoon's editathon will focus on improving the quality of articles about all things Gothic. The University of Sheffield's Centre for the History of the Gothic will also be supporting the event with their own synchronous Wikipedia editathon:
Working together with liaison librarians, archivists & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles covering areas which could stand to be improved; Gothic art, Gothic architecture, Gothic literature, Gothic film, Gothic music, Gothic history etc.

Wikipedia的注意事项：
Ø Avoid weasel and peacock words: one of the most important
Ø Topics should meet wiki’s standards of notability
Ø Sources must be published elsewhere: we want verifiability not truth. No personal interpretation
Ø Avoid conflict or interest
Ø Internet blogs are not considered reliable or trustworthy: BBC GUARDIAN TELEGRAPH HERALD SCOTSMAN tend to be reliable
Interesting articles
[edit]
I also read an interesting article today from Guardian:[2]
Donald Trump appears to soften stance on Obamacare and Clinton emails:Donald Trump has appeared to soften his stance on a range of sweeping campaign pledges, saying in his first interview since being elected US president that he might not repeal Obamacare and that prosecuting Hillary Clinton over confidential emails was not a priority.The president-elect, who said he would “immediately repeal and replace” Obamacare after taking office, told the Wall Street Journal he might instead seek to reform the policy, keeping the ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.He said he would also look to retain the provision that allowed young adults to be insured on their parents’ policies, adding that he had been convinced of the virtues of the two points in his meeting with the outgoing president, Barack Obama, on Thursday.
