Adding Citations to Wikipedia

Adding citations to Wikipedia
[edit]
Adding an interlanguage link to connect to articles in other languages
Things to do:
  • Go to this list of Women scientists by nationality or a similar list and look at the subcategories of nationalities. Click through to find articles of interest. Open the article and look for red links (or unlinked names) and search for the red-linked text on Wikidata or google to see if there are Wikipedia articles in English or other languages. Add ills as needed.
  • Go to almost any list of foreign-language writers (c.f. List of Spanish women writers) and click on an article. Look for red links and search for the red-linked text on Wikidata or google to see if there are Wikipedia articles in English or other languages. Add ills as needed.
  • Example: {{ill | La sonrisa vertical |ca| Premi La Sonrisa Vertical |es| Premio La sonrisa vertical}}
  • Example: {{ill |Andityas Soares de Moura |WD=Q98276700}}

Library Resources Templates

[edit]
Using the library resources box template to connect readers to resources in their libraries
Things to do:
  • Consult this list of women science writers and add a library resources box to their page. Use the author namestring (e.g. Faye Flam) to look up the appropriate viaf ID (e.g. VIAF ID: 6861455) on viaf and fill it in.
    • Example: {{Library resources box|by=yes|viaf=62289315}}
  • Many of the editions at A Celebration of Women Writers were created before there were Library Resources Templates. Since we already know there are online books by these authors, you can search Wikipedia for articles about these authors and add {{Library resources box|by=yes |onlinebooksby=yes|lcheading= |viaf= }} to the bibliography or external links section. Use the author's namestring (e.g. Adami, J. George (John George), 1862-1926) to look up the appropriate viaf ID (e.g. VIAF ID: 62289315) on viaf and fill it in.
    • Example: {{Library resources box|by=yes |onlinebooksby=yes|viaf=6861455}}
