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

Finalize your topic / Find your sources

Guide(s) for writing articles in your topic area

Medicine

Assignment - Workplan

By 9:30am on Mon 11/29 (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  • Is any information out of date?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?

Assignment - Peer review an article

Guiding framework

Please perform peer reviews beginning on Wed 12/8 after our WIP#3

  • What should a peer-review look like? Here's our suggested plan:
  • Peer review of Nov-Dec 2021:
    • INSERT HERE

  • Logistical Details:

    • Peer reviews are DUE by end of week 3 = Before you go to sleep on Mon 12/13. 
    • 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:

In class - Discussion

Thinking about Wikipedia

Assignment - Continue improving your article

Exercise

Add links to your article

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.

Logistical Details:

  • Post your responses to peer-review on the TALK page near the peer review.

In class - WP-Wrap-up Session
Fri 12/17 @ 10 - noon (2 hours)

On Fri 12/17 @ 10 - noon 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.
