General information on Wikipedia
[edit]
- Want to know more about Wikipedia? First read the lemma Wikipedia on Wikipedia-en (and also check it in some other languages).
- if you want to read more: see the references and especially the "Further reading" sections in the above article.
- May I ask some special attention for: Benschop, Albert (2009-2015) - 'Wikipedia : de wijsheid van de zwerm' (Dutch: Wikipedia : the wisdom of the flock)
- on: "sociosite": http://www.sociosite.org/wiki.php (in Dutch)
- an early example of "wikisociology"

Resources for students
[edit]- By all means, do the online Wikipedia Training program, which is specifically designed for students! It takes approximately one hour to complete, and gives you your first hands-on experience writing on Wikipedia.
- You can also watch this very informative video, which focuses on academic writing on Wikipedia (also one hour):
- Download and print the brochure on the right and keep it next to you while you work. It is extremely concise and covers all the basics very well.
- María José Felgueres Planells, a biotech student at Tec de Monterrey, wrote a beautiful blog post about her experience editing Wikipedia in the WikiLearning Program for her (required) community service in Mexico.
