Book Description
In this book, you'll learn the skills required to use and contribute to the world's largest reference work-like what constitutes good writing and research and how to work with images and templates.
With insight, anecdotes, and tips from three Wikipedia veterans, you'll learn how to:
- Find information and evaluate the quality and reliability of articles
- Contribute to existing articles by copyediting, writing new material, and fact-checking
- Add new articles that conform to Wikipedia's guidelines and best practices-so that your hard work won't be deleted
- Communicate with other Wikipedians through Talk pages, discussion forums, direct messaging, and more
- Understand Wikipedia's policies and procedures and how they're created and enforced
- Resolve content disputes and deal with vandals and other malicious editors
- Phoebe Ayers (user:phoebe) is a science and engineering reference librarian at the University of California, Davis. She has been involved with Wikipedia since 2003 and is an organizer of the Wikimania conferences.
- Charles Matthews is a Wikipedian in the U.K.
