Wikipedia edit-a-thons at the NLM
What¹s a Wikipedia edit-a-thon? Turns out it's a lot of fun! Experienced Wikipedia editors get together with newcomers who are curious and eager to learn the ropes. We packed out a training room twice (28 and 30 May), with more joining by webinar. Each webinar started with talks, including an inspiring and fascinating overview of Wikipedia globally and Wikipedia in medicine by James Heilman and an introduction into how to edit Wikipedia by Lane Rasberry (see below).
Hilda Bastian spoke about PubMed Health¹s interest and activities with Wikipedia, focusing on our plans to routinely incorporate Wikipedia editing as part of our process of featuring reviewshttp://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWF pbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMwNzE3LjIxMjA1NzYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMDcx Ny4yMTIwNTc2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTk3OTI4JmVtYWlsaWQ9aGlsZ GEuYmFzdGlhbkBuaWguZ292JnVzZXJpZD1oaWxkYS5iYXN0aWFuQG5paC5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dH JhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&126&&&http://feed://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov /feed/rss.cgi?ChanKey=pmhfeaturedreviews at PubMed Health (see below).
There is a list of the talks and David Lipman¹s opening remarks below, along with links to tips on editing Wikipedia and where you can get people to help you with any issues you have when you get started. Learning the ropes of the software can be challenging, but a new visual editor coming in the next few months aims to make it much easier for newcomers.
The edit-a-thons were fun, building relationships and skills. Many took the plunge of their first edit. A bonus was improvement to more than a dozen Wikipedia pages, at least two new Wikipedia entries started and a lot of discussion about ways that NIH Institutes can engage in improving information about themselves without compromising either NIH or Wikipedia normshttp://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpb GluZ2lkPTIwMTMwNzE3LjIxMjA1NzYxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMDcxNy 4yMTIwNTc2MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MTk3OTI4JmVtYWlsaWQ9aGlsZGE uYmFzdGlhbkBuaWguZ292JnVzZXJpZD1oaWxkYS5iYXN0aWFuQG5paC5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJh PU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&115&&&http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/ocpl/resou rces/wikipedia/.
