Wikipedia:Benelux Education Program/Maastricht University/FASOS Marble Spring 2021

At the Maastricht University a course for marble students was organised in Spring 2021, in the scope of the Wikipedia Education Program.

Programme

The (simplified) guidelines on Wikipedia, resting on the five pillars, include:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, the content that you add must fit in an encyclopedia.
Write in a neutral point of view.
All content added must be free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. (copyrights)
Use references to source facts in your article. Every paragraph and every two/three sentences should have a reference. You can use a reference more than once. Without references an article can't be published.

Further:

12 points to keep in mind:

add only knowledge that belongs in an encyclopedia
add only material that is available under a free license or express it in your own words
describe this knowledge from a neutral position
add references and sources for the added information
do not write about your organisation, yourself, a family member, or your boss
do not describe new theories, new insights or thoughts and no opinions
see articles about similar topics as an example
use headings to structurise an article
use internal links (links to other articles on Wikipedia)
do not add links to other sites in the body text, add those only at the bottom of the article
use no qualifications (best, most, etc)
write timeless (not: "the last century", "next month", "recent", yes: "on 27 September 2016")
