editGoals
editChecking the SfTI website is backed up in the Internet Archive, and is scraped again when complete.DONE. (The site has been archived 300 times between 2016 and 2024, and will continue to be scraped at least monthly.)Upload the Innovation Stories video shorts to Wikimedia Commons under an open licence. DONE.Excerpt parts of the Innovation stories that could be embedded in appropriate Wikipedia articles. 2 of 8 done.Create a Wikipedia article about SfTI, summarising the origins and main investigators in the Science Challenge, the research themes and projects, and a selected publications list and outcomes, linking back to the (archived) website.- (optionally)
Create a WikiCommons category for significant Challenge people, using images supplied to be released under an open licence, with a profile photo assigned to their Wikidata item. DONE from supplied photos, plus some open-licensed images. - (optionally) Create articles about significant SfTI researchers, listing their most significant research publications in Wikidata, linked to them as the authors, with a Scholia publications list.
- (optionally) Using the key published papers from each of the 11 Spearhead project areas to improve relevant Wikipedia articles, linking back to the Challenge's Wikipedia article.

People
edit(Note: Wikidata generally uses the full name as given in author lists on publications; Wikipedia will use the most-commonly-referred-by name—for example, the one in a university staff listing. The Scholia link shows the number of publications currently in Wikidata and properly linked to that person's Wikidata ID.)
