Please propose a topic or two that you wish to write on Wikipedia. You should read all related articles/policies on Wikipedia and provide the following information.

  1. Your proposed article(s) (New or existing STUB article relating to a chemical compound, reaction, equipment or technique - or related to your major/interest. (see Category:Stub-Class Chemistry articles))
    • For new article, explain briefly why it passes WP:NOTE.
    • For existing topics, explain briefly the state/structure of the current article.
      • Is the structure & existing content appropriate?
        • If not, restructure or remove content as per WP:MOS and WP:NOT before you move to the next stage.
  2. Brief outline of your contributions to the article
    • In what section & what content
      • Make sure it belongs to the article and it is encyclopedic. See WP:NOT for things that should NOT be added.

    • Media files (photo/VDO/drawing) to be used in the article.
      • You may suggest plan to create your own work and upload to Wikimedia Commons

ICCH224 Week 04

edit

Your topic is approved and added to the course page. Please develop the proposal into the first draft in your sandbox.

  • For existing article, you may copy some parts of the existing article to your sandbox to see how revision/integration of content would work. You will copy the code back to the article at later stage.
  • For new article, you may want to copy parts of a template article to your sandbox to see what sections are necessary. The sandbox will be moved to the article namespace at later stage. Please do not click "Submit your draft for review!". The function is not applicable to our course.

In all cases, do not copy more than what is necessary. For example, do not copy any categories to your sandbox. --Teetee taw (talk) 15:54, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your work. Please quickly revise your work accordingly:

  1. I have seen only two changes: removal of one media file and a change in a reference. You need to show me that you can edit the article.

You have until the end of today (25 May UTC+7) to revise your work to the standard. --Taweetham (talk) 03:12, 25 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

ICCH224 Week 05

edit

Your work has been reviewed. Majority of the content/formatting is ok. Please carefully move encyclopedic part of your sandbox to article namespace so that the general public can see it. Here are some tips to help you complete the transition to online editing.

  1. Content/Formatting policies
  2. Technicalities
    • Unlike sandbox, all edits will be public immediately and it is important to make sure that all of your edits are acceptable. You may use preview button and provide edit summary to help you.
    • Any "page save" on Wikipedia even outside article namespace is permanently recorded and can be retrieved by the public. Please think carefully before you click save and before you revert other people edits. No work is lost but only the latest version of the page is shown to the public. Deletion of pages (or versions of pages) is only possible by admins if it falls under Wikipedia:Deletion policy. You can request admins to do deletion or other prescribed tasks should the need arises.
    • You may want to set watchlist and notifications so that you can catch up with changes made to your article and your talk page by other editors.
  3. Community interactions
    • You will be interacting with other volunteers when you make edits on the article namespace. Please respect other users in the community and assume good faith.
    • If your work is reverted or modified in any other ways, do not engage in a edit war. Rather use discussion page of your article to settle issues.
    • You may be blocked from Wikipedia for failure to observe community rules.

We hope you enjoy seeing product of your hard work read by many people in the years to come. --Taweetham (talk) 04:19, 26 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Done Please improve the scheme so that it is readable and does not contain too much white space. --Taweetham (talk) 01:18, 1 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

For your information, the grading is based on the criteria below: Wikipedia contributions must meet the minimum quantity requirement to be graded.

Quantity
  • We generally expect at least 5,000 characters (counted by xtools's authorship attribution) to the assigned article unless you upload media file(s) and/or help contribute to classmate article(s).
  • If media are created by you, uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons and used in the article, either 1,000 or 2,000 or 3,000 characters credit will be given, regardless of the number of media uploaded.
    • 1,000 characters credit will be given to sound files(s).
    • 1,000 characters credit will be given to image(s).
    • 2,000 characters credit will be given to video(s).
  • If you help classmate(s) to edit their articles or create media files for uses in classmates' articles, up to 1,000 bytes of your contributions may be counted. Your classmate(s) must remain in the Wikipedia assignment program at the end of the term so that the articles can be counted.
  • All of the work must be created by you and recorded under your username.
  • No outstanding WP:COPVIO issues for both text and media.

The work will be graded based on quality and process criteria:

Quality

    • Other issues (course tag on talk page of your article, make sure you add categories to your article(s) and media)
    • File names in Wikimedia commons or reference name in the article should be sensible and helpful for other editors.
    • Unnecessary files, pages e.g. redirection are nominated for deletion.
    • To produce desired formatting, learn from source codes of other articles on Wikipedia or ask classmates/other Wikipedians.
Process
  • Complete the assignment on time.
  • Understand Wikipedia articles and policies by independent reading.
  • Take appropriate action on comments given by the community/instructor.
  • Provide edit summary for every edit on the article namespace.
  • If conflict arises, do not engage in edit war. Use talk page/discussion pages to resolve the issue.
  • Help improve classmates' articles.
  • Thank other editors/reviewers of your article.

  3. Do you have categories for BOTH your article and media files?
  4. Do you have sufficient links to and from your article? Check the links to your article by clicking on "What links here" on the left-hand menu. It is useful to have your article included in some templates, for example, Template:Laboratory_equipment.
  5. Do your media files clearly demonstrate the subject matter? Do your files have a sensible name? (You can request a name change at Wikimedia Commons by Clicking on "More" --> "Move".)
  6. Do you have appropriate media caption in your article and appropriate description/license information on Wikimedia Commons page?

Please have a look at Vanishing_valentine_experiment and Chemical traffic light experiment. I believe that the two articles can be merged into the Blue bottle experiment. --Taweetham (talk) 04:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
