|
Booking is not yet open.
Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? As part of International Nurses Day 2017, on Friday 12th May, the University's Information Services team will run an edit-a-thon at Argyle House. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given to attendees. Thereafter the afternoon's editathon will focus on improving the quality of articles about nurses.
Working together with Academic Support librarians, archivists & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles where Wikipedia's coverage needs improved; including the history of nursing, distinguished alumni and notable nurses from around the world etc.
Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and celebrate the history of nursing!
Wikipedia has help pages which set out style guidelines for pages being created on certain subject areas. Please have a look at the following pages:

Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.
The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!
The following WikiProject Women in Red list shows what information Wikipedia could be missing and requires adding.
The following Wikidata list demonstrates what information Wikipedia has about nurses (grouped by place of education).
The following Wikidata list demonstrates what information Wikipedia has about nurses (grouped by nationality).
This is a list under development of missing articles on women who are (or have been) notable for their contribution to nursing and midwifery in academics, business, economics, politics, research, government or the social sector. |}
See also list of Presidents of the Royal College of Nursing without articles, and the lists of Fellows and Honorary Fellows in an old version of the article (since removed)
Other suggestions for articles to work on at the event are very welcome.
To be determined.
