We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome!

I am really interested in hearing what you learned in the process of doing this extra credit on Wikipedia, whether it was about learning how to use the Wikipedia system itself, seeing how you are connected with information, what it is like to be an active editor with the wide world here, or something else about how information and evidence works in an open and accessible way. I would also love to hear if any of you plan to continue with this in any way!
Any replies to this will be appreciated and helpful in my understanding what resonated. @Sisiqin: @Shuer: @Scarlett90: @KentView: @Erikagpaul: @Ev790: @PurpleMercury: @MMMcS: @Yunye2017: @Xl2085: @Pn612: FULBERT (talk) 09:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Repinging Sisiqin & Shuer & Scarlett90 & KentView & Erikagpaul & Ev790 & PurpleMercury & MMMcS & Yunye2017 & Xl2085 & Pn612. Thanks in advance! FULBERT (talk) 11:15, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
I think I got many things from doing this extra credit assignment. First, I think it helped with the mindset needed to write the research proposal, especially the importance of avoiding direct quotes and instead relying on your own brain to read the material and express it in your own words. Along with your encouragement, I think the "be bold" encouragement you get as an individual Wikipedia editor (even though we were only just starting we have the same opportunities to contribute as anyone else) carried over for me and increased my confidence that I could write a research proposal. I think there's also a lesson in how to take constructive feedback thoughtfully, not personally. Overall I think this extra credit was a great complement to what we learned in class! Monica 16:34, 20 October 2017 (UTC) (talk)
Somehow super pride of myself. publish things that can be seen by all over the world feels great. Overall, i think i learned a lot. I really appreciate everyone's work. Also, this extra credits helped me to think through my proposal paper. really helping on practicing APA format. PurpleMercury (talk) 17:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
I learned how to edit wiki items and add viable picture to a concept. During the research, we can edit a page tiny step by step, which makes a concept explanation more accurate and reliable. Yunye2017 (talk) 14:30, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Some other topics that were reported include the need to respect Wikipedia naming conventions (accounts are those of people, and should not appear like companies or organizations), along with an acknolwedgement that people were not aware editing was open to everybody, edits and errors were so quickly changed and reviewed by a vast army of volunteers, that contributing to this now and in the future is all free and accessible to anybody with Internet access, and that it was so doable, even given the wonky coding that is needed in places.

Hi professor, exploring the usage of Wikipedia is pretty fun, never thought I would do things like this since I had never edited anything on Wiki or attempted to. I was amazed by how accurate the data are and how comprehensive Wikipedia is. Now I want to contribute more to Wikipedia and b part of it. I have found a lot of great materials that related to my topic.Mirandacst (talk) 18:53, 4 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirandacst (talk • contribs) 18:51, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I added content to the page on Ageism. In the section on Employment, I added 2 sentences (and 3 references) about how midlife women may be discriminated against due to appearance - in line with my research topic. Whew! Spsjaggy1 (talk) 22:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
I just completed some minor edits on the Airstrikes on hospitals in Yemen article. I restructured the article to have a timeline and subheadings. I also added some dates to make it easier to follow. Overall, it felt like a great first step! There are so many articles on the topic, it would be great if someone was able to bring them all together! --Arwaaliriani (talk) 16:34, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
I just finished adding a sentence to the Airstrikes on hospitals in Yemen article. Under January 2016, I found that there was an undocumented event. I cited the event using two news articles. I also posted some comments in the page's talk section. Looking forward to adding more! --Arwaaliriani (talk) 17:11, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Professor, I just finish my second Wiki assignment in my sandbox,please take a look. Actually I reviewed Miranda's sandbox first then found out her article was interesting, so I searched my article in the same way. I will find more related articles and read their reference list is really helpful. --Ly1072 (talk) 03:47, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello from chilly Rhode Island! I have completed the week 3 assignment. I went back to the impostor syndrome article and made an edit to a section of the text that I felt could be phrased better. I left a comment on the article's talk page as well. Have to admit, I was super nervous to click the save button. Ha! I guess we'll see if the community is ok with my copy edit... Spsjaggy1 (talk) 05:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi professor Jeffery,
I have made a change in my week2 assignment. I think I did it right and meet your requirement, please check! Thank you!
Last week, I find someone already add the 2017 NYC marathon info in the wikipedia. I reviewed the page, and find the 2016 NYC marathon race result is still empty. Now you can see my contribution on NYC marathon page! !!!New_York_City_Marathon I have added winners as well as the citation, and I am soooo excited. Does this mean if someone search the 2016 NYC marathon result, they can see my edition? That is so cool!

Hi Professor Jeffery, I have moved my week2 work to my sandbox! Please check. Thank you!Ykekaixin (talk) 19:29, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi professor, I have edited the Wikipedia pageSport_in_China. I added another heading named "Sports industry stages" under the "sports business" part. I cited Jie Zhang's article using the doi,(Doi :10.1080/09523367.2015.1022720) and the wiki page automatically generated a citation for me. So cool!! Please take a look at it.

Hello again! I added a new section and various content to the page on GE. In the section on Marketing initiatives, I added a section about GE's recent advertising campaigns to feature women in STEM careers. I also added a short paragraph to the Ageism article in the section on Related campaigns regarding a new movie project which will feature the perspectives of a middle-aged woman.

I've assigned myself two articles related to the proposal we've been working on in class. The first article is Intellectual capital. I added a couple of examples of methods of intellectual capital measurement (there were previously none mentioned). The second article I chose is Voluntary disclosure where I added intellectual capital disclosure as an example and provided a brief definition. Looking forward to your comments! --Arwaaliriani (talk) 22:51, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, AkhterMonir for fixing it! FULBERT (talk) 20:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Professor
I have assigned myself an article name Touch_ID, and read through it. I have made a minor change to it under the section of [Impact]. Before it was "US National Security Agency" Now it read.."US Government National Security Agency (NSA)". AkhterMonir (talk) 03:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I have assigned myself an article name Mobile Security 'Mobile Security' and added few lines under Attacks_based_on_hardware_vulnerabilities to help enhance the article. Jail-breaking and rooting is a big part of mobile data security. AkhterMonir (talk) 02:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

I have edited second article name Mobile app and added few lines about the Opera Mobile Store under Others to enhance the articles. Thank you. AkhterMonir (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I assigned myself in 2 article and also did the summaries and added citation . The first one is Beijing MarathonBeijing_Marathon and the second one is Shanghai Marathon [[1]]. I added the start line and finish line for Shanghai Marathon.
For the Beijing Marathon wiki page, I added two sentence to update info according to Beijing Marathon's official page. However, I also leave one message about the history part. The only one heading under Beijing Marathon wiki page is the 2012 Japanese entrants, which is related to political issue about Diaoyu Island between China and Japan. I personally think it is not appropriate that this is written on the wiki. Therefore I left a note on talk page, hope someone will apply to me. If not, I would delete this part.Ykekaixin (talk) 05:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I insert a picture into Beijing Marathon Wikipedia page. The picture is 2014 Beijing Marathon Medal, and I took it by myself! [[2]]
I did not notice that it is very hard to find a proper picture! At first, I wanted to find a picture that meet the wiki's needs and I failed, even the picture on the Beijing Marathon official website has its privacy rules that I could not use (I did not know it before, I thought inserting picture is much more easier task than editing sentence on wiki). Finally I decided to use my own picture and upload it in wikimedia commons. I uploaded two pictures and edit pic's name and description. It immediately shows when I searched Beijing Marathon on wiki edit page! How fast! Hope this pic can show how special a Chinese marathon medal can be because the design is special and different from other medals in America. And hope I can be a better photographer in the future.

Hey Professor here is my Week 2 assignment in the Sandbox section. Let me know if you need any changes! Qingyiwang (talk) 19:40, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
For the assignment of week 3 I made a minor change to the Kopi Luwak page, specifically under the section Production. I felt that there was an awkward sentence so I rephrased it. Hope that's what you were looking for. Let me know if I need to do anything else!Qingyiwang (talk) 20:17, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
I went a little rogue and edited a page that isn't related to my research topic. It is, however, related to me as a musician since I have performed at the venue and was an employee there for 12 years. I added information about the recently deceased co-owner and also added a photo from Wikimedia Commons to the page. Hope this is ok! Spsjaggy1 (talk) 21:04, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
I made this change in Public opinion on climate change. For this minor change, I modified grammar and perfected sentences. Please take a look. I will modify it more in further assignment.--Ly1072 (talk) 23:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
In the article of public figure, I made the change to describe what is a public figure more deeper. In the List of environmental films, I add the Before the Flood in it and lists its theme and author. Here is the link of my work. --Ly1072 (talk) 03:10, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
I updated the article Public opinion on climate change because its information is outdated. I add some newest information about public opinion on climate change or global warming in the United States from 2015 to 2017 with a citation. It is about the percentage of Americans who concerned about global warming as a great deal. I found it is needed to update because people should know about newly public opinion. --Ly1072 (talk) 00:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
Updated the article Maan Coffee. Added company information from the company website on to the Wiki page. Let me know if you see anything wrong or if there's more for me to do! ThanksQingyiwang (talk) 22:34, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Professor, sorry for the late update but I updated the article SPR Coffee as well and I just realized I forgot to post it here. I added information as well as a logo. It got reverted yesterday due to secondary source issue like my other article and I added a support for that. Let me know if this is okay. Thanks.Qingyiwang (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report about 45.114.118.154 (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:25, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
