AWIS at UM is hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon open to all graduate students, which will also function as our year-end social for the AWIS mentoring circles program. The event will take place in the Chemistry Department on the University of Michigan's Central Campus on March 27th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This page is a work in progress; please check back for updates.

Event Information[edit]

The event will be held University of Michigan Chemistry building, room 1200 on March 27th beginning at 5:00 p.m. Students, faculty, staff should bring their own device and should also set up a Wikipedia account for editing prior to arriving at the event.

No Wikipedia editing experience is required. We will provide a tutorial at the beginning of the event discussing how to edit, reference, and create pages in Wikipedia.

Participants will be able to choose from a list of articles to improve, or begin creating a new page.

Dinner and snacks will be provided. Please RSVP here.

We will be live tweeting during the event with the tag #AWISUMwikithon2018

Images[edit]

We encourage you to upload images from your events to Wikimedia Commons so all the language Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects can use them.

Uploading to Wikimedia Commons[edit]

  • Images for this year's events can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
  • How to upload images to Wikimedia Commons Video.

Using images in Wikipedia articles[edit]

  • Wikimedia Commons is a “sister-project of Wikipedia.” Once you are logged in to Wikipedia, you are logged into all sister project websites.
  • Images on Wikipedia must be uploaded and hosted at Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org).

Steps

  • Search for an find and image you would like to use for your Wikipedia article on Wikimedia Commons.
  • When you click on an image, you will be directed to that image’s “image description” page.
  • At the top, you should see an option that says “use this file” and has a Wikipedia logo.
  • Click on “use this file” copy the wikimarkup listed for “Thumbnail” and paste this wikimarkup into the "Edit" Tab of the Wikipedia article markup where you want the image to go.
  • Press “save” and the image should appear as a thumbnail, with the default right-hand side location.
  • Extras: You can make image galleries on Wikipedia pages. Template:Gallery
  • Extras: Template:Commons category
