Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/Franklin Women 2019

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edit with VisualEditor

This is the page for the Franklin Women Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for Women in Health and Medical Research, held on 25 July 2019.

To celebrate Rosalind Franklin’s birthday, Franklin Women is hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. We’ll be working together to increase the visibility of women in STEMM on Wikipedia, particularly those working in the health and medical research sector.

Please join in the fun on Twitter using #FWonWiki #Editathon and #WomenInSTEMM.

Let's get started!

[edit]
  1. If you don’t have a Wikipedia account yet, please create one. Remember you may choose to make your username anonymous and gender-neutral.
  2. Register your username at the Event Dashboard so we can track the outcomes of today’s edit-a-thon.
  3. Update your user page to record that you are “Participating in an editathon on 25 July” and hyperlink to this project page. This lets other editors know that you are a new contributor and still learning.

What should I work on during the editathon?

[edit]

There are many different ways for you to contribute today. Wikipedia is the product of millions of individual contributions and every change that is made, no matter how small, makes a difference! We’ve prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. These are grouped into categories depending on the type of contribution that is required. Keep in mind Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits. Once you’ve decided which task you’d like to tackle, add your username to the table.

Write a new article

[edit]

Writing a new article means making a brand new Wikipedia page - exciting stuff! The women listed in this table have received considerable media coverage yet they do not yet have their own Wikipedia article. You can change that!

A guide for what to include in a Wikipedia biography

For inspiration, here are some examples of existing articles for Women In STEMM:

  • Professor Anne Kelso AO, CEO NHMRC and previous Franklin Women guest (April 2015)
  • Professor Jenny Martin, founder of Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE)
  • Professor Minoti Apte OAM, first in the world to successfully isolate pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), the cells associated with pancreatic fibrogenesis
  • Professor Maria Kavallaris AM, Australian Financial Review and Westpac’s 100 Women of Influence, 2015
  • Professor Sandra Eades, first Aboriginal medical practitioner to be awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in 2003

Expand a stub article

[edit]

Stubs are very short articles that need to be expanded. A fellow Wikipedian may have started the page but only added minimal details. Expanding stubs by including more information and citations is important because it prevents these pages from being deleted and means readers can find out more. The women listed below already have stub articles but we’ve found some sources with additional information to be included.

Improve an existing article

[edit]

Existing articles can always be improved, whether that be by fixing grammar and spelling, correcting the tone (to be more neutral, like an encyclopedia rather than a CV), adding missing in-line citations, or refreshing outdated articles. The articles listed below have been flagged by other Wikipedians to say they need improvement. They include orphan pages, which need to be linked to other Wikipedia pages to ensure their relevance and increase traffic to them. Improving existing articles makes them more credible and, in some cases, might save them from deletion.

Before you begin editing, check the text box at the top of the existing Wikipedia page to see what needs improving.

Improve a list

[edit]

A Wikipedia list is a collection of existing pages that are grouped together by a common theme. Linking existing pages to established lists means more people can find those pages if they are searching a topic. By expanding the two lists below, we can improve the visibility of high-profile Australian women scientists and highlight the major discoveries made by them.

Adding your name to a table

[edit]

This page is edited using wikitext (also known as wiki markup or wikicode). To add your name beside an entry, you will need to edit the relevant table. An example is below, showing the coding that makes the table and where you need to put your username.

| Column 1 (Name of the article subject) || Column 2 (Links to resources) || Column 3 (Your username here) || Column 4 (Update when you're finished, to say how you got on)

The || each represent a new column. Each row in the table is represented with |-. Table headings use similar formatting, except with ! rather than |

To write and link to your username, use this coding (replace "Username" with your actual username): [[User:Username]]

For more general help with editing, see Help:Editing.
