Edithathons
- Going nicely. We had several, with WHO, and usually multilingual: English-Spanish or English-Malayalam
- The next one is on June 12, 2021; see w:WMDC-VACC4 and numbers above and below that to get to various event pages
- we'll have one at the WikiConference North America, on Oct 8 perhaps
What would a manual cover?
- Define terms, explain procedures, highlight possible conflicts and how to prepare and navigate them
- WikiMed
- Cochrane and its initiatives
- CDC/NIOSH
- Wikipedias in various languages; their standards
- Footnotes, categories, formatting, with exercises to do
- Wikidata -- many things to explain
- Commons -- how to set up to work there, and how
- Wikisource and other sites
- Copyright issues, with some how-to
- COI issues and how to prepare and handle them
- What an editathon is, how to find and join some
- Alongside that definitional material we can give more specific lively advice
- perhaps in colored boxes on the sides of pages -- It's less academic, and could go out of date more easily so it should be in a different format
- How a new user should ideally start
- Who they should ask for help -- us first, and various boards/lists
- Examples, e.g. of good articles, past Wikimedia conflicts that went badly
- Quotes from users on what they think is easy, or hard, or rewarding
- Cite related works
- We can learn from analogous NIOSH efforts, or other WiR efforts, or other manuals for different fields, to document good practices
- I think there are other manuals to draw from and to cite
- Possibly Wiki Edu or Wikiversity has such manuals already
- Format for this work?
- could be a PDF document
- could be wiki pages on wikidc.org
- could be wiki or web pages within their organization
- could be on Wikiversity, a place for training materials
Background research to do
- Might be like: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki4WorldHearingDay2019
- m:Wiki4YearOfSound2020 -- possibly to build on
- be in touch with Jen Dawson / Ottawa of Cochrane and WikiMed ; she has checklists or advice
- advice from Philly wikisalon on how to make nice little videos, in .webm format
