[WREN] Giving feedback on branding outlines by June 30th
by john cummings 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi all So we need to give our feedback on the branding options by June 30th. I went to the meeting about it got some helpful feedback for user groups. 1. We have one survey to complete as a group, which I have to fill in on behalf of the group 2. We don't have to give one opinion as a group, we can include a diversity of opinions My suggestion would be that I create a Google Doc with the questions and people can reply with their answers and we can combine answers and give weightings to answers e.g 30% of the group think A, 40% B and 30% C. We could have a call about it as well if you'd like, if so please suggest some times. Does this sound like a plan? Best

Invitation to Attend the Second Open Online WikiJournal Combined Meeting
by Kelee L. Pacion 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Hello, We would like to invite you to attend the next iteration of the WikiJournals open and online public meeting. Details: 12 June @12pm UTC<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=WikiJournals+Open…> Link to meeting agenda: https://w.wiki/Sfr Zoom attendance link<https://latrobe.zoom.us/j/146572445> Meeting overview- Members of the WikiJournal community will provide a 15 minute presentation to give a summary and update of the current status of our various projects. This will be followed by a 40 minute discussion related to engagement and growing the journals. We look forward to meeting everyone! Best, Kelee Pacion on behalf of the WikiJournals Background: The WikiJournal User Group runs a set of peer reviewed academic journals<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group> that have the unique feature of being highly Wikipedia integrated. Papers can include links to Wikipedia pages, figures are all uploaded to Commons, and suitable material (or even whole articles) can be copied over to Wikipedia. In fact, Wikipedia pages have even been submitted to the journals for peer review. The concept is to couple the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the wiki ecosystem. This improves the accuracy of the encyclopedia and its sister projects, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. Authors are treated the same whether they are professors or students, with a focus on the article’s accuracy and referencing. Peer reviews are public (example<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/DwZlCgZovLtAQBXkCxR07G?domain=na01.safeli…>) and 75% of reviewers agree to have their identities open. Article formats are flexible and have included: · Broad review article that also becomes a Wikipedia page (example<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2019.001>) · Existing Wikipedia page submitted for peer review (example<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjh/2019.001>) · Focused review articles that have images or text added to Wikipedia pages (example<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2017.002>) · Technical reviews that can accompany a Wikipedia page (example<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.008>) · Stand-alone research articles (example<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.007>) Can't get enough?

Instructions for how to create Wikidata Tours now available
by john cummings 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hi all For those of you who use and teach Wikidata you may know Wikidata Tours are a really great way to learn about aspects of Wikidata, however there are a small number of tours and until now no clear way to create them. Navino Evans and myself have created a comprehensive guide on how to create Wikidata Tours with a space to collaborate with others to build tours and to suggest tours you'd like to see. We hope that increasing the number of tours available for new users will be able to learn how to contribute more easily and add data more consistently making queries more reliable. Please take a look and: * Suggest tours you would like to see available, this can be anything from technical aspect of Wikidata, how to create a specific kind of item e.g a person, museum etc or a specific task e.g add a date of birth. * Share existing guidance on different aspects of Wikidata that could be turned into a tour. • Start writing new tours. • If you know Javascript you can help transform a tour draft from a page of text into a working tour. Thanks very much https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:How_to_create_Wikidata_Tours
