 Ie. How long have I got? Yeah, got 15. 15, okay. So this is hopefully a nice, easy one. Because what I've done is I've recorded interviews with about eight different students at the University of Edinburgh who have been involved in the Wikimedia residency there. Hi, my name is Ewan. I work as the Wikimedia residents there. I've been there for two years now, I So I I'm not gonna Talk too long and let cuz I really want the students to take the 4 Because it shouldn't just be me beating the drum there's a growing network of open knowledge nodes now at the university and across Scotland and I'm really privileged to work with Lorna and Charlie the full interviews are on that tinyurl link they're really good If you want to know about Year 2 two you can find it at tinyurl.com forward slash wiki residency two and a little infographic for tinyURL.com wiki residency for the first year. So the two year report is all written up and this is what we were trying to do rise awareness of Wikipedia and its sister projects designing delivered digital skills engagement events and just to work with colleagues all across the institution about how we can better gofod nhw i'r cyfeirio'n pwyntadau i'r cabai Cymru, ac yn cael ei gafod nhw'r cyffredig iawn ac yn cwnghwylio'n cyfyrdd a'u gwasanaeth oherwydd gynnwys iawn.

I think it also explores some really, really important parts of research such as practising, finding sources, researching a difficult topic, writing an article, thinking about planning and structuring, all that kind of thing, like their skills that anyone's going to need. As a medic, crucial is a vital part of being a doctor, being able to explain a patient's illness to them. So it's always useful to practise writing maybe really scientific and depth things in a more understandable way because not only does it help other people to understand it but it also makes sure that you know it too. Law forms the basis of our democracy and I believe that part of our democratic rights is that we should make information open and knowledgeable to all people and I believe that editing Wikipedia comes into that mission. There's a law and technology society for which I designed a wiki project law edited on. So I identified articles that had focus on technology law and quite a lot of them that need to be added or edited tend to go with intellectual property law. So I created this event just so students can kind of get a first hand experience of what it looks like to edit Wikipedia, what it looks like to add information to Wikipedia. When you are writing in Wikipedia articles and or editing the articles, you are of course putting these legal research skills into practice but not only that is that you're writing articles with the law focus geared towards all kinds, to people from all different kinds of backgrounds, not just lawyers and others with the legal mind. I approached you in and said that I was a member of the history society at the University of Edinburgh that I was organizing their academic events for the upcoming academic year. And I really wanted to broaden out the type of events that we were doing both in terms of the type of history that we were representing because we did quite a lot of political history events and very few social history events and events related to underrepresented groups. But also the type of events that we were doing because we put on a lot of lectures and some panel discussions but there was very few opportunities for people to directly engage in history in a way that wasn't just a sort of passive listening to it. And so running a Wikipedia editathon seemed like a perfect way to combine these two things. It not only shows people that their degree has relevance, it also helps improve a resource that many people use. Universities are meant to stimulate you academically so in many cases I will read something in a reading for a lecture. I will listen to my lecture speak about a specific issue that maybe is not in Wikipedia and I will feel inspired to make an article about it. Our lecturer mentioned Shamila Bobakwa, an Algerian activist for the independence of Algeria and she didn't have an article in Spanish so what I would do in that case is create the article. Being a Wikipedia for me it's about being an advocate or an activist of knowledge. It's about being able to what matters to you be represented and be accessible to more people and produce an inspiration to more people. I want to take what we have been doing here at the university and take it back home when I return home whether it's for the holidays or after I'm done with my studies because you're broadening the horizons of others when they see these articles and the knowledge you've posted as well as you're opening doors for your readers, you're possibly improving representation and I think that's something we really should be working on increasing representations of different languages especially when you look at the number of for example Arabic speakers and speakers of the other major languages compared to the number of articles they have. It's really surprising, it's a stark difference. When you add references to Scottish psychology and it's basically a game so you get you know it's sent to this article and you see the text and you're like need to find it and when I found the first reference I got very very excited. The best part was that I was also able to add more information so not only was I able to add the reference I was also able to expand on that point. I also think it was extremely easy to do. The referencing was really interesting. I've really realised how good it is that Wikipedia has so many open access sources and Wikipedia is so much more than just Wikipedia in itself does all of the Wikipedia stuff in general so one of the things I've found really helpful is for example why we study a lot of brains and brains are really confusing organs and there's this animation on one of those pages that shows a brain that's like rotating and it shows the brain part and I've always wondered why none of my academics use it because it's actually openly licensed in a way that you could use it in a lecture and I think Wikipedia in that sense offers a lot of different media so you could easily work into teaching. Having pictures of things on Wikipedia pages and adding more than potentially just text and a few references really makes an article much more interesting. So for example I added a picture of the university library to that Wikipedia page. I also do think that Wikipedia has a really good space is that academia focuses way too little on how to communicate world leading research to the layman people. I'm Athena Franzana and I am a final year PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. Ada Lovelace Day is a day where we celebrate Ada Lovelace and it's a day that we celebrate all women in STEM in science technology fields. Women in STEM are underrepresented and maybe the lack of role models is one reason why and maybe if we can change that we can change the way the future generations look at science and technology as a career path. I participated on all the activities and I also wrote an article about Elizabeth Eleanor Field who is one of the 19 female chemists who petitioned to be fellows of the chemistry society. When you're a student the biggest problem is actually doing practical translations. I mean we get a bunch of different things to do, you know, excerpts of books or whatever that we translate and talk about with our fellow classmates and our teachers. But it's just for us or it's just for our teachers. We're not actually out there doing something that affects other people or other people will read. So to be given the opportunity to translate something practical that will end up being read by people and used by people I think just that motivation itself was the biggest positive of this project. I mean thinking that it would have an end reader I think was probably the biggest thing. And so obviously then my actual translation of it was affected because I was thinking wow this is going to be read by people around the world. So I have to not only have to be professional about it but I have to think of them as my target audience and not just please a teacher or whatever the case may be. So I think that was one of the biggest positives for me. And yeah, just the practical translation work, you know, just getting an opportunity to translate something that I was interested in on a website that I use regularly I think was a big positive. So all of those things were wonderful about this project. It's been a really rewarding experience and a way of engaging students in how to access and use databases, how to abstract the information from those and how to use those to develop a web-based resource. So if you're thinking about it I would say definitely have a go. So how to summarize two years up in one minute. Basically we had three assignments in year one. We doubled that in year two. We are now into year three and what else can I tell you? The library and university collections now have a new digitisation strategy for Edinburgh University that includes contributing to Wikipedia. And we also have a new strategy that for the next four years Wikipedia edsig will be part of our Athena Swan commitment in sort of correcting underrepresentation of women in STEM fields by making more visible role models online. So there, that's probably all I have time for. But there we go. Three Wikipedia classroom assignments. We're now working with Digital Sociology Global Health. Don't cite Wikipedia, write Wikipedia. Loads of skills. And yeah, that's about it. If you have any questions I'm very happy to answer them but I take Tim Berners Lee's point about the whole nature of the open web that we need to rethink our relationship with it. And if it will work, it's not working. We need to look at the systems and whether they're actually helping humanity. Are they being constructive or destructive? And I think we could probably argue for Wikipedia being constructive. Thank you. Thanks. I would really like to answer the conversation that we had yesterday. Why still teachers at academics question the validity of Wikipedia as a source of information? But I think you're promoting during Facebook groups. Sir, we're going to have this conversation later. If anyone has a question, because the next keynote is a protest. Anyone? Of course, you are. Great talk, thank you. I was compelled. I was interested when you were showing one of the animated gifts, this idea of the citation hunt. And have you built tools to make it actually, like how is that working? Do you have a tool to make it easier for students to cite or explain the process? I was just interested. There's a developer called Guillaume Goncalves. I'm probably saying his name horribly wrong, but he developed Citation Hunt. And it's used as part of Wikipedia's annual One Lib One Ref campaign. So every January they run this campaign to celebrate Wikipedia's birthday. And they ask one librarian to add one reference to Wikipedia. But I think we can all add references to Wikipedia. And it's actually quite fun if you filter it to a category on Wikipedia that you're actually interested in or knowledge you'll about or care about. And yeah, you just click through. It will suggest this little snippet. And it will click through to the page. And if you're not interested, just click next. And it will suggest another little snippet. It's just such a low barrier way to get in besides authoring articles. We used it in Mexico to add people out of the Spanish Wikipedia. Yeah, well just to pay credit to Alan and Brian, because we've ripped and nicked their plot idea mercilessly. And we've developed this site called Wikigames, which Ann Marie came over and did with you guys. And just little short fun tasks as a way into contributing to Wikipedia. So it's not presented as an onerous thing or an intimidating thing that some people find. Because once they have a go, they get hooked. And it's just getting people in the room to give it a go and just have that conversation with them as well. And that's what I find is that eight times, eight, nine times out of ten, we come out of converts every single time. I just posted the citation. So it's all cool. Okay, thank you so much. Thanks for being here. Thank you all the speakers.
