ICCH224 Week 03

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.
     • Make sure that it is not redundant to existing articles. Use Google search "site:wikipedia.org" rather than Wikipedia search.
   • References for the article
   • 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
     • You may use existing media on Wikimedia Commons. Use Google image search "site:wikimedia.org" rather than Wikimedia Commons search.

Please leave your answer below. (Leave a reply in this section of your talkpage.) --Taweetham (talk) 09:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

1) Topic Proposal:

Existing Topic on Trapiche emerald, as the article currently seems very incomplete, lacking any if not all information on the formation, structure, geology and treatment of this raw gemstone.

2) Brief Outline of my contribution to the article:

I will add more subtopics to the article, I have currently planned four of them; Structure and Properties, Geology, Sources and Formation and Treatments. I will also add my references at the end of the article and any pictures from Wikipedia Commons if necessary.

3) Examples/Template/Related Articles:

I will use these articles as templates:

Blue Diamond

Emerald

 Done Congratulations! This assignment is completed. --Taweetham (talk) 08:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 04

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. --Taweetham (talk) 08:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

I have already made a draft of my proposed article in my sandbox, I have also integrated the existing article to make sure the edits and additions work well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harsimar21 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

There are several issues with your draft

1. There are no internal links at all. See my recent edits in the article to see how I added internal links.
2. The section heading should not be bold face.
3. References are not properly formatted. We need inline citation. See examples of code in your template article or read WP:CITE. Also, we want to increase the number of reliable references. Your draft missed the old ref.

--Taweetham (talk) 10:38, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I have made serveral changes according to your comments. Please check if it is better. Thank you.

Harsimar21 (talk) 02:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

 Done Congratulations! This assignment is completed. --Taweetham (talk) 15:11, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 05

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
   • For the purpose of this assignment, do NOT copy anything from anywhere to Wikipedia and it sister projects. You must create all of the content primarily by yourself with assistance/supervision of the instructor & the team. The content, however, must be encyclopedic & relevant and supported by reliable references.
   • The content must be in the right format and added to the right place of the article.
   • You can learn writing and formatting style from similar (but better class) articles on Wikipedia. You can find them from links/categories of your article. Learning from good examples is perhaps the best short-cut to your success.
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) 15:11, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

I have carefully moved the article from my sandbox to the real article space. Please check if everything is alright, so I can make changes accordingly. Thank you. -- Harsimar21 (talk) 03:35, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I am late here. The content has been deleted. However, the reason provided on your sandbox's history is WP:COPYVIO with this link as a source http://ieex.com.co/file/2016/12/IEEX-Trapiche-Emerads.pdf - do you wish to continue with this article or your would like to make another proposal? --Taweetham (talk) 01:12, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

I will continue with this article and make some adjustments according to the ones suggested in the edit history. Thank you. Harsimar21 (talk) 05:12, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

I have once again drafted the article on my sandbox. Please check if it is good enough, so I can transfer it to the real article space. Thank you Harsimar21 (talk) 05:33, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Harsimar21! Thank you for your effort to revise your draft. This is probably your last attempt. I have the following comments.

1. The content looks fine at the first glance. However,
   • (a) relying on one single reference for the whole paragraph is not sustainable. More references can be added at later stage.
   • (b) You will also need to make sure that the contents are appropriate for this article not elsewhere such as in the main article of emerald. In Wikipedia, we do not produce redundant content and rather use internal links to refer to existing materials.
2. There are minor issues with WP:MOS. Elements and compound names are not capitalized unless they are at the beginning of a sentence as per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(chemistry)#Capitalization_of_elements_and_compounds. The capitalization of second word in the section title is probably incorrect in a similar manner.

If you believe that the above content and formatting issues can be addressed. Please carefully integrate your draft into you nominated article Trapiche emerald. --Taweetham (talk) 01:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

I have already done everything as per your comments and carefully integrated it into the real article space. Could you please check it to make sure there are no mistakes. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. Harsimar21 (talk) 06:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

 Done Congratulations! This assignment is completed. --Taweetham (talk) 05:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 07

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.

--Taweetham (talk) 05:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Ajarn, if the picture that I want to use is not in the Wikipedia Commons, then what do I do?. Thank you. -- Harsimar21 (talk) 10:55, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

We have discussed in class that you can upload photos that you have created by yourself to Wikimedia commons. --Taweetham (talk) 07:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 08

Hi Harsimar21! In addition to what we have discussed in class, please see if you can format your references using {{cite}}. --Taweetham (talk) 07:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Copyright violations

Harsimar21, you have removed the copyright warning I gave you. That is your right, but I am concerned that it indicates that you do not take the issue seriously. @Taweetham: it seems you are Harsimar21's supervisor in their capacity as a student. Could you address this with Harsimar21? Sandstein 13:52, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

@Sandstein: I am sorry for this. I have talked to Harsimar21 in person a moment ago and explained the proper process to him. --Taweetham (talk) 01:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 09

WP:COPYVIO is a serious issue. Please address that before we move on. --Taweetham (talk) 01:55, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Please see Biomarker (petroleum).

1. Nature reference can be formatted.
2. See how the book is related to the content from this link [4].

--Taweetham (talk) 04:18, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 10

You are now assigned a mentor Teetee taw (talk · contribs). --Taweetham (talk) 06:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 11

@Teetee taw: Your mentor will provide detailed feedback soon. I have identified two problems at this point

1. Please combine the same references. For example, Environmental Forensics. 7 (2): 105–146 apprears in refs 1 and 11. These two should only be one reference.
2. Please improve the image to include "pristane & phytane" so that it is consistent with your text. (commons:File:Biomarkers_(petroleum).png and the text in the article should be updated accordingly.)

--Taweetham (talk) 07:16, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I have made the corrections as per your comments already. Thank you. Harsimar21 (talk) 02:55, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

1. Please use {{cite}}, {{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, {{cite article}} properly for all references if possible.
2. The structure in your picture is wrong. If you remove the hydrogen from a bond-line structure, the bond connecting hydrogen should be removed too. If you remove Hs, you should do that consistently to porphyrin as well.

--Taweetham (talk) 06:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to add that it might be better if you split the text up into paragraphs if you start to state a new point so that it can be easier to read like move the "Geologist and Geochemist....." to new paragraph. And maybe give more detailed about the examples you mentioned since you only explained more detail about triterpanes what about the others.--Teetee taw (talk) 13:30, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

I have already changed the picture, checked if all references are written in the <cite book, journal, etc.> format and split it into paragraphs. Thank you. Harsimar21 (talk) 04:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi p teetee, I have already made the edits as per your and ajarn's comments. Is the article good to go? Thank you. Harsimar21 (talk) 08:17, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
