Notes related to Wikipedia work and activities

I will be working on content gaps and any useful edits that can be made to Civil Engineering articles.

I will be copy-editing the Body of Knowledge article.

On this article, I worked mainly on the format. I took out the (1) and (2) on the first bullet point in the list in the summary. I also took out the (a) and (b) in the second bullet point.

Those edits were made because they caused confusion as to whether they should be considered as new bullet points or not.

Work in progress

I am currently working on reviewing a civil engineering biography on John Alexander Low Waddell.

Content Gap

Simply put, a content gap is an omission of knowledge that would be necessary to an article in such a way that it sheds more light about the subject matter. Content gaps can arise due to reasons ranging from bias, to lack of research on a topic. A content gap can be identified by a couple of ways which include but are not limited to lack of citations, to an over representation of an aspect of the article or an under representation of a aspect of the article. A content gap can be remedied by carrying out extensive research before a Wikipedia article is written and providing a lot of references so that others can validate your statements.
