This workshop will take place on September 25th and 26th, 2018 in collaboration between Wikimedia CH (or WMCH), Swiss chapter of Wikimedia, represented by Flor Méchain, and doctoral students of the program the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ETN “Plant-inspired materials and surfaces (PlaMatSu)”. The training will be carried out by Alexmar983, Totodu74, and Flor Méchain.

The ETN PlaMatSu brings together chemists, physicists and biologists for research and training in the field of bio-inspired materials. This research area is not yet well-covered in Wikipedia, but walks in the steps of other, similar programs around the world (mostly in the field of cellular biology). During this two-day workshop, the students will learn how to create and edit relevant Wikipedia entries. This will then be followed by assignments (in collaboration with their Principal investigators) in which the students will have to edit Wikipedia to improve content and/or to create entirely new articles.

The outline of the workshop is as follows:

Tuesday, September 25th

09.15 - 12.30: Introduction to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons (Auditorium)

How to write an article, with a correct structure, and references, and with accurate templates, and how to use Wikimedia Commons to illustrate an article. With very minimal exercises

12.30-13.30: lunch break

13:30-16.00: editing with tutors (Rooms: A320, B416, B425)

The day concludes with an activity organized by the Adolphe Merkle Institute,

16:00-17:00: AMI Seminar : ‘3D Printing of Adaptive Structured Liquids’, Prof Tom Russell (Auditorium)

not included in the wiki activities, it could be an occasion to take images for the rest of the workshop.

Wednesday, September 26th

9.15-10.15/45 (depending on demand): technical Q and A (Room A320)
until 12.30: editing with tutors (Rooms: A320, B416, B425)

12.30-13.30: lunch break

13.30-16.00: editing in groups (Rooms: A320, B416, B425)

16.00-17.00: groups present the articles they created (A320)

How to edit Wikipedia

The basics

Here is a link to tutorials that can help you edit Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Tutorial.

Each assertion you type needs to be verifiable. Make sure that you add references to back up statements.

Your references need to be secondary sources: original research is not accepted as a reference.

Avoid plagiarism. This may includes your own work, unless it is published under a free license allowing for commercial and noncommercial use. Plagiarism amounts to a breach of copyright, which violates Wikipedia policy. If you need to use work you have published under a copyright license, please, reformulate.

Neutral point of view. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view. You should represent fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.

A few more useful links

Useful templates

To be put both directly and between nowiki brackets in order to show the code.

Infoboxes

Some articles require infoboxes. Infoboxes always appear on the right hand side of articles, and have to be placed before the rest of the article's text.

Two examples

Here is the example for human hemoglobin, a protein, on the right hand side is the final result, beneath is the wikicode.

{{Infobox heteropolypeptide
 | heteropolymer = hemoglobin
 | polymer_type = heterotetramer, (αβ)<sub>2</sub>
 | protein_type = [[metalloprotein]], [[globulin]]
 | function = [[oxygen]]-transport

 | SubunitCount = 3

|Formula=C2952 H 4664 O 832 N812 S8 Fe 4|C2952 H 4664 O 832 N812 S8 Fe 4=}}

How to cite references

An assertion needs to be backed with a citation. To introduce it in a Wikipedia article, you can rely on the visual editor for most cases (books, websites, articles). In certain cases, you will need to know the wikicode (for citing a thesis, for example). Below is an example of wikicode concerning an article, and further below, the links to the pages explaining how to cite books, websites, and thesis.

Journal articles

To achieve the following note, ^[1] you can both rely on the visual editor, or use the following wikicode:

<ref>
{{cite journal
|last    = Peyron
|first   = Marie-Agnès
|author2 = Olivier Blanc 
|author3 = James P. Lund 
|author4 = Alain Woda 
|date    = 2004-03-09
|title   = Influence of Age on Adaptability of Human Mastication 
|journal = [[Journal of Neurophysiology]] 
|volume  = 92
|issue   = 2
|pages   = 773–779
|url     = http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/92/2/773
|doi     = 10.1152/jn.01122.2003
|pmid    = 15277595
}}
