Admit it! You use Wikipedia extensively. Who doesn't? But do you use it for medical information? Your patients do! So if Wikipedia is the most widely used medical reference in the world, and the third most visited medical reference in the US, why not be a part of increasing the quality of reliable information there by becoming a WikiProject Medicine editor? This course will teach you how.

- Assignment - Create your account and learn the basics
- Create an account and then complete the online training for students. During this training, you will make edits in a sandbox and learn the basic rules of Wikipedia.
- Assignment - Wikipedia as a Medical Student
This is where we think specifically about how editing Wikipedia as a medical student might differ from editing as a "lay person."
Here's a link to a video we co-produced with Osmosis about "Editing Wikipedia as a Health Professional Student": https://youtu(.)be/7JbVdtR2ACc
- Assignment - Workplan
By 10am on Friday 3/9 (e.g. before our first WP-WIP), post your final Workplan to your selected Wikipedia's talk page, so that you can engage with the Wikipedian community members who are interested & actively following your article. If you are working on a team, I want you to be explicit about what section(s) you will individually be responsible for.
Consider explicitly declaring any/all of the following (but don't feel limited to these):
- Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?
- Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
- Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
- Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
- Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
- Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?
- Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
- Which sections will you prioritize?
- What resources do you intend to look up, and when?
- How will you utilize the Acrolinx report that you will get for your article?
- How will you decide what things (signs, symptoms, side-effects, etc.) to explicitly include? To explicitly exclude?
- Will you also embed additional links to other Wiki pages?
- How will you ensure you avoid "doctor-speak" and not use jargon?

Week 2
- Course meetings
-
- Wednesday, 14 March 2018
- Milestones
This is to remind you that adding images to WP articles can be just as important as adding text. Here's the general information about doing that scope of work as part of your efforts:
- Identify an article that would benefit from illustration, create or find an appropriate photo, illustration, or audio/video, and add it to the article.
- All media uploaded to Wikipedia must fall under a "free license," which means they can be used or shared by anyone. Examples of media you can use are photos that you take yourself, images and text in the public domain, and works created by someone else who has given permission for their work to be used by others. For more information about which types of media can be uploaded to Wikipedia, see Commons:Help desk.
- To add a media file to an article, you must first upload it to Wikimedia Commons. For instructions on how to upload files to Commons, refer to Illustrating Wikipedia. This brochure will also provide you with detailed information about which files are acceptable to upload to Wikipedia and the value of contributing media to Wikipedia articles.
- Note that the Fall 2017 UCSF Wikipedia course enrollees did an exceptionally good job of uploading and/or creating images themselves. Try to outperform that group of students!
- Milestones
Based on our discussions on the first two days of class, it is my expectation that by Week 2 you will be editing your selected article(s) "live" on Wiki and not merely in your sandboxes!

- Assignment - Peer-review
Please perform peer reviews beginning on Thurs 3/21
- Post your Review to the talk page of the article you are reviewing.
- Peer reviews are DUE by end of week 3 = Before you go to sleep on March 23.
- What should a peer-review look like? During our discussion in class on Tues 3/6, we will define specific attributes we will itemize here.
- Peer review of spring 2018:
- Constructive critique with specifics
- Guide the peer-reviewer on what to focus on and review
- Peer reviewers: describe your rationale for why you are recommending what you are
- Give the review with bulleted lists so you can put your rationale next to each point
- Consider copying to word and using track changes
- Don't forget the positive feedback to reinforce the good stuff
- Consider doing two passes: 1) focus on content, structure, etc. 2) focus on grammar, references.
- Timely, so that reviewed individual has time to respond
- Put in robust effort please.
- Consider an overall summary paragraph (suggest at the beginning).
How to conduct peer review? Themes/questions that might emerge:
- Peer reviews are DUE by end of week 3 = Before you go to sleep on March 23.
- Post the peer-review on the TALK page of the article you are reviewing.
- Don't be afraid to use the phone or email as well as the talk page.
- Review prior students’ declaration of intended work.
- Consider reviewing prior students’ peer reviews. All can be found on the talk pages of the articles they edited and peer-reviewed. Wide range in quality, but you can find all prior cycles of the elective here:
https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/UCSF
- Here's a link to a grading rubric that Wiki Ed offers for evaluating student contributions to Wikipedia articles. While we will NOT formally use the point system, it does provide a nice complement to our "home-grown" peer-review process. Handout: wikipedia peer-review rubric
How to respond to the peer-reviewer's comments?
- Acknowledge and appreciate their efforts in reviewing your work.
- Be nice
- If you disagree with a recommendation, tell the reviewer why you disagree.
- OK to not respond to everything, but do try to dialogue with your peer-reviewer(s).

Use the final week of the course to respond to your peer-reviewer's suggestions. Additionally:
- Leverage the Wikipedian community members who are interested in your article

On Fri 3/30 from 10 - 12pm we will convene for a 2 hour meeting to share accomplishments and discuss lessons learned. Final presentations will be structured as follows: round robin "reports" (maximum of 8 minutes each) from each of you as follows:
- What did I accomplish this month (broad overview)?
- What did I learn?
- What will I take forward with me into the future?
- Now in hindsight, is there anything I would have done differently?
We will conclude our meeting with a focus group about the elective overall. This will include:
