We will look at Wikipedia's coverage of health topics and consider the following questions:
We will also consider medical coverage as a model for the development of Wikipedia content on any subject.
We will talk about editing Wikipedia. This talk will not cover the technical process of editing, but instead, will go through the rules of editing and the editorial flow of submitted text as the Wikimedia community processes. We will discuss the culture of editing Wikipedia.
Here is a preview of the inside story-
Every work role which exists in any major publishing house also exists in Wikipedia. We will visit some of the work divisions in Wikipedia, consider their labor processes, and talk about how administration and infrastructure development supports front-end content publishing.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it contains reference text. Other parts of the Wikimedia network of media projects include Wikimedia Commons, the non-text media file repository, Wikisource the document archive, Wikidata the database, and other projects. We will consider how these projects complement each other.
