Hello, Welcome to my wishlist. This page contains a list of random ideas that I one day wish to execute. This page contains mostly raw ideas, and articles needing creation.
Tools and categories
Bring
WHO datasets (Health Equity Assessment Toolkit) to Wikidata. Currently copyrighted by the WHO.
Many images from the CDC Public health library has been uploaded to Commons in low resolution, and very many have not been uploaded to Commons at all (
Example). Advanced search using
MesH terms and subcategories of MesH terms (along with Public Domain tag) give high-res images of viruses, bacteria etc, which can be useful in microbiology articles. The images are getting downloaded as TIFF, they need to be converted to png before they can be uploaded to Commons.
Forearm - the image in the infobox is too large. Need to be able to resize the image in Template: Anatomy.
Disinformation on Wiki(m)pedia. Challenges and future.
Ability to compare two or more infoboxes, or two or more Wikidata items, such as Volkswagen Golf and T Cross.
Featured article relay: One person writes a part of an article, hands it over to another person who improves it further and the relay goes on until the article has reached the quality of a featured article. (apply for
funding for this initiative)
Images from Digital Museum (such as
this one (from Glass museum) to Wikimedia Commons. The
API is also available. Example for an API search
here
Wikimedians interested in participating in research as subjects.
Tools
A tool for uploading PACS to Wikimedia Commons.
A tool that shows which articles have high text-to-image ratio
A tool that shows the list of articles without images in a given category
A tool that shows the largest available size of the image and date taken of an image on a Wikipedia page. This helps the editor to find out old and low resolution images, for replacing them with newer, high resolution images
As a second step, ability to query for the oldest/lowest resolution images used in pages of a given Wikipedia category.
On Wikidata, at the image section, one can have images of different kinds : abscess (gross pathology, histopathology, simplified illustrated diagram of abscess, photo of an abscess, abscess of lung, abscess of kidney, flowchart of abscess formation)
Some guidelines on what kind of images are to be used in articles? Avoid image overload? Use the right image for the context? (Existing
image use policy of Wikipedia)
Larger resolution images over lower resolution images. Case of Gisela Storz (
small) and (
large) getting uploaded as separate files.
Wikidata query: Count the number of images in Wikipedia articles of a given category for say, Arabic and English Wikipedia and calculate the image/article ratio? Find out which Wikipedias are more visual oriented and which are less?
Why images of cusine, different types of lung malignancies etc. became important after the arrival of Wikidata? How knowledge became fine-tuned after Wikidata?
Reports
Report a case study Possible case studies: Med-GLAM, Education Program at B.K. Shah Medical College, Outreach edit-a-thons for women in India, Differences in working style between global south and global north
Create a report about all demographics, content and participation by Indian community on Wikimedia
Move the pictures from the book Castes and tribes of Southern India (
Book link) - Note: author died in 1935, hence public domain and pictures of tribes need uploading to Commons and should be added to corresponding articles.
Colorize old images of historical importance using
Colorize tool. Use it for monuments and not people, because there is a risk of the software making the persons' skin tone too 'white' rather than brown/black.
Collection of images related to medicine from individual doctors from personal contacts.
Find and crop images of a particular category from Wikidata, crop them for giving focus to the subject, add missing images from the search. (
Link for a sample query, crop using CropTool)
Wikidata items are lacking for many extinct organisms (fossils) as of 2 September 2019. For images from Natural History Museum, Gothenburg, the appropriate species name could not be added.
Europeana for cultural heritage documents from all over Europe
Examine if
fossil forum images are compatible for Wikipedia
Medical illustrations, do it yourself is also possible using combinations of images from this website. CC-BY-NC-SA now, but perhaps negotiable ? Purchased the whole content on 11 Sep 2019, saved on Google Drive under Wikimedia
Norway images many images are under CC-BY-SA 4.0, others are ND search bar on the top of the webpage
A long list of physical signs can be found in the book Physical Signs in Medicine and Surgery: An Atlas of Rare, Lost and Forgotten Physical Signs written by Fred White.
Are there fewer articles about women's health on Wikipedia than Encyclopedia Britannica (or any other website)? (Gender gap has previously been quantified in terms of biographies, and not in any other fronts).
Create a word cloud of words used by an editor on Wikipedia?
Visual gender gap, learn its magnitude using structured data on Commons?
Why wouldn't potential peer reviewers respond to mails from WJM?
Time gap between a person/incident happening on news compared to them appearing on Wikipedia
Have photos on Wikipedia of people been whitened up? How this aspect changes from language to language?
Articles present in Malayalam Wikipedia but not in English Wikipedia. What is it that is important for Malayalam that is not so important for English? What categories of article are they?
NotInAnotherLanguageTool
Moving to another country as a Wikipedian (how to continue your Wikipedia work after having moved into another country)
Boost confidence (Women are socialised to have less self-confidence, so motivate them)
Think before you revert (especially if the editor is a newcomer)
Explain ways to do shorter and quicker contributions
Do not overload with information (during outreach events) Done
Pre-conference events (how pre-conference events can be made useful)
Support women who report harassment (sometimes it is not the harassment, but the apathy of community members towards harassment that hurts the victim more)
Write about the person's merit (family and marriage issues are more highlighted in womens' articles, women are linked more to men)
Acknowledge the problem (Do not be a victim of 'no problem' problem)
Don't be afraid to fail
Mind the skills gap/Mind the gender gap/Mind the diversity gap
