Admit it! You use Wikipedia extensively. Who doesn't? But do you use it for medical information? Your patients do! Wikipedia is now the most widely used medical reference in the world. This course will help you better understand the WP “ecosystem” including Wikiprojects, Translators Without Borders, and the offline Wikipedia health app.

- Assignment - Basic Wikipedia training modules
These are the Wiki Ed produced training modules that I believe are important and relevant to our work in this rotation. You are expected to complete all of them by the end of your lunch break on Day 1 of the course.
- Assignment - Editing Wikipedia as a health-professional student
These are additional training modules that are especially relevant to you as medical students. You are expected to complete these before you go to sleep at the end of Day 1 of the course.
- Assignment - How to assign yourself an article for this course
- Guide(s) for writing articles in your topic area
- Assignment - Workplan
By 10:30am on Fri 11/1 (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 & 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- Is any information out of date?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 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 "doctor-speak" and not use jargon?
Handout: Workplan worksheet

- Assignment - Peer review an article
Please perform peer reviews beginning on Wed 11/13
- What should a peer-review look like? During our discussion in class on Tues 10/29, we will define specific attributes we will itemize here.
- Peer review of Nov 2019:
- Read the author's workplan (before reading the page?)
- Read for accuracy
- Confirm references are accurate, relevant to where they're in-line cited
- Check for style in/consistencies (e.g. use of passive voice, 3rd person, etc.)
- Ensure all content is in the right section headers
- Remember to tailor the content to the readers of Wikipedia (e.g. comprehensibility)
- Check grammar, spelling
Logistical Details:
- Peer reviews are DUE by end of week 3 = Before you go to sleep on Sun 11/17.
- Post the peer-review on the TALK page of the article you are reviewing.
- Here's a link to a wikipedia peer-review rubric offered by Wiki Ed for evaluating student contributions to Wikipedia articles. While we will NOT formally use the point system, it does provide a nice complement to our "home-grown" peer-review process.
Resources:
- Editing Wikipedia
- Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.
- In class - Discussion
- Assignment - Continue improving your article
Exercise
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

- Assignment - Respond to your peer review
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
How to respond to the peer-reviewer's comments? We'll insert this here during class discussion on Tues 10/29
- Thank them for the peer-review
- Systematically (one-at-a-time) go through each point.
- Describe what you did (or will do) in response
- Where you disagree with your peer-reviewer respectfully describe why you disagree
Logistical Details:
- Post your responses to peer-review on the TALK page near the peer review.
- This will allow other Wikipedians to engage with the recommendations long after you finish this course
Resources:
- Editing Wikipedia
- Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.
- Assignment - Polish your work
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
- In class - WP-Wrap-up Session
- Fri 11/22 @ 4 - 5pm
On Fri 11/22 from 4-5pm we will convene for a meeting to share accomplishments and discuss lessons learned. Final presentations will be structured as follows: round robin "reports" (maximum of 10 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?
Here's a link to the google doc for this Wrap-up Session.
