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) 14:56, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Please pay attention to formatting and technicality of your edits. I have spent some time to revise you answer in Week 03 above as an example. --Taweetham (talk) 14:55, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I suggest that you work on Aluminium acetate and use {{chembox}} to describes the three salts. --Taweetham (talk) 14:57, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shormeli! Thanks for your first draft. Here are some comments.

1. We will need content and references for this new article. I have put an example on the sandbox. Please replace my text with proper content.
2. Since this is an existing article you may copy your sandbox into the existing article. I just noticed that ChemBoxes exist in Aluminium triacetate and Aluminium diacetate. You may make use of the existing content in the article but you can create a new content for the third salt.

ICCH224 Week 07

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) 09:29, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

ICCH224 Week 08

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

Learn from similar articles on Wikipedia (preferably higher quality than the article you are working on).

• Structure
  • Follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry.
  • Follow Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section.
• Content
  • All information are relevant to the article and written in encyclopedic tone. (Understand WP:NOT.)
  • Text are clearly supported by reliable sources. (Follow WP:REF.)
  • Do final clean up and proofreading.
• Formatting & housekeeping
  • Formatting (citation e.g. {{cite web}}}, {{cite journal}} and {{cite book}}, heading styles, bullet/numbered point, font face, table, position/layout/caption of images etc.)
  • 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) 09:29, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Aluminium acetate

Hi Shormeli! Thanks for your edit on the page. Here are my comments at this point.

1. The summary paragraph and the content below as well as in the chembox appears to be redundant. Please consult the manual of style/example article and see how you may address this. I guess you can make the first paragraph much more concise as the details are shown elsewhere in the article.
2. If you can add more information to the page, please do so. Otherwise, you may try to create a page for the third compound (aluminium monoacetate) instead.

--Taweetham (talk) 09:33, 20 June 2020 (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) 06:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shormeli! Please see your contribution of 2,558 characters to the article and the talk page of the article. Can you contribute by taking or drawing a relevant photo and upload it to Wikimedia commons? Also, please see if you can address the messages on the talk page. This may lead to additional content to the article. BTW, I see that you also drafted a new article in the sandbox. Can you tidy it up a bit more so that we can move it to a new article? The new article is supposed to be Aluminium monoacetate. Can you draft it in your sandbox? --Taweetham (talk) 00:30, 30 June 2020 (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) 07:26, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your time today. Here is a brief summary of our discussion.

1. You can add figures to the disambiguation page?
2. You can fix the figures that are already on Commons.
3. We can create an new article for monoacetate compound. Link to it article. Reference to Sigma-Alrich, Wiley article and the book "Dictionary of Pharmacological Agents". It can be created on Sandbox first and later be moved to the article name space.

--Taweetham (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Please do not leave incomplete sentences "Mordant" and "Medical Purpose and Mordant" in Aluminium acetate. This kind of things can be removed immediately by anyone when found on the article. --Taweetham (talk) 03:20, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shormeli! Are you ready to create a new article for monoacetate compound? Last week, we have looked at articles in other languages and feel that it is possible to create an article due to references cited in those articles. However, if you are not sure about this approach, please check WP:NOTE. --Taweetham (talk) 02:11, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shormeli! I ran out of time for today. These are the progress I have made for you.

1. I was wrong. It was not the disambiguation page. I removed the robot added template.
2. I moved your content out of the sandbox. There are touch-ups that you should do in the article.
3. Do you agree that the Wikipedia:Set index articles article should be arranged by mono, di and tri? I have swapped the section but have not swapped the chembox and the content in the first paragraph. Please revert my edit if you disagree. Anyhow, please document this on the talkpage that the order is arranged for whatsoever reason(s).

--Taweetham (talk) 11:48, 22 July 2020 (UTC)--Taweetham (talk) 11:48, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I agree with you and decided to arrange it by mono-, di-, and tri-. I have rearranged the chemboxes as well as the information in the first paragraph. --Shormeli (talk) 19:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 Done Congratulations! You have completed the requirement for Wikipedia Assignment. [4] [5] --Taweetham (talk) 04:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Could you please see if the chemboxes that I deleted from set index page contain extra information that may need to be transfer to the pages for individual compounds. --Taweetham (talk) 05:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
