Hello!
editArchivist by training, passionate about heritage and user engagement, now working at University of Edinburgh. Keen to add content to Wiki, so it can shared all over the world! :) I'm very nosey, and like finding out things. I've published printed articles in the past, on Scottish Artist William Mosman[1] and also on archive documents relating to Robert Burns which was published in Studies in Scottish Literature[2]
Things I want to edit about
editScottish History Local History Gender History Black History.
My example citation
editI read a fab article on the BBC News website which I cite after the full stop. And then I can reuse the same citation later in my article. If I have web address URL, a journal article DOI code, book ISBN number or a Pubmed Identifier I can auto generate citations using the Cite dropdown menu and these will also save as references at the foot of the page when I publish my edits.
Templates I can add
editThis is a new user Infobox Wikipedia user
(for your own userpage) Infobox person (for generic biography articles) new user article (for putting on Talk pages of articles you have newly published in the Wikipedia main space).
My example image I will do a keyword search of the 85 million free to use images in Wikipedia's sister project, Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. I can upload my own 'open-licensed' images to Wikimedia Commons if they are my own work, public domain or CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licensed. I can look for open licensed images using image search aggregator tools like the Creative Commons "CC Search tool" and filtering my search for Public domain, CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA images.
Categories These appear at the foot of the Wikipedia page and are added to published pages in the Wikipedia main article space. You can find categories in the Visual Editor dropdown menu indicated with 3 horizontal lines.
