Week 3: ICCH 224

A. Proposal

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.
3. Examples/template/related articles that you will use as a model to develop your nominated article.
   • In terms of WP:MOS/formatting - your article will have similar style/format/tone to these articles.
   • In terms of content - your article will link to or will be linked from these articles.

Please leave your answer below. (Leave a reply in this section of your talkpage.)

The deadline is midnight (UTC) Tuesday 15th May, 2018. --Taweetham (talk) 01:22, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

A. Proposal

The topic I chose is an existing article called 'chitin' which is not a stub. This article only provides some information about chitin, giving a definition of what it is, its chemistry, physical properties and biological function. It does not consist of many external references, sources of chitin, its importance to species other than humans and plants and so on. So, I want to add some more information to this article, for example talking about the sources of chitin such as fungi, arthropods, protozoa and nematodes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riddhi2017 (talk • contribs) 03:27, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

B. Approval

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) 00:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

The deadline is midnight (UTC) Monday 21st May, 2018. --Taweetham (talk) 10:17, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

As per our discussion in class, you may be interested to see {{cite web}} for your references. --Taweetham (talk) 02:42, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

This is a reminder that you have not complete the assignment. Please complete it as soon as possible to remain in our program. --Taweetham (talk) 03:09, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Week 4: ICCH 224 Online editing: Reviewer & Article namespace

A Reviewer assigned

A volunteer Pilarbini has accepted to be your reviewer.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia, I am pleased to be your reviewer and see that your chosen article can be improved in many ways. Check out the similar article with better quality, chitosan. Please feel free to leave a message in my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! -Pilarbini (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment on draft I

Hello again, I just reviewed your draft and have couple of comments:

• Please fix your references by reformatting it using 'cite' tool. You can use DOI to automatically generate the citation or add the information manually.
• Please add more information about each sources. This may include in which part of the organism it is found in.
  • I found a perfect example here (page 379 in the 'Sources of Chitin and Chitosan' section)
• I think it will be better if you convert the list into a descriptive paragraph explaining each sources (similar toKeratin#Examples of occurrence)

Hi Nehal607X! You have had a period of long inactivity from Wikipedia. If you still want to participate in Wikipedia education program, please make significant changes to your draft asap. --Taweetham (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia Education Program. Your assignment is not completed by the deadline and we have to move on with a smaller group of students. Your voluntary work on Wikipedia are still welcome but will not be graded. --Taweetham (talk) 14:29, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
