Welcome to my user page! My name is Alexandra Courtis and on wikipedia I've been working on increasing coverage and visibility of diverse scientists in academia.

My wikipedia training and project involvement to-date includes:

• participant WikiEdu Scholars & Scientists Program, Spring 2019 "Communicating Science on Wikipedia"
• member wiki Women in Red Project
• member wiki Women in Green Project
• participant American Physical Society "Highlighting Women and Minorities in STEM on Wikipedia" edit-a-thon

• Since starting my WikiEdu class and attending the 2019 American Physical Society edit-a-thon, I have been working on improving coverage of scientists on wikipedia.

• link to an article by Ed Yong about diverse voices and sources.
• link to the Timeline of women in science
• following guidelines from my WikiEdu Scholars + Scientist program, I'm currently using an ORES based script for the quality rankings listed on the talk page of new articles I work on. ORES uses machine learning to help automate assessments of edits on wikipedia. You can learn more about useful tools you may want to utilize on wikipedia based on ORES here.

• when putting together references section, should include the references template and also in the ref section add some templates to assist with organization and flagging with WikiData collection: {{Reflist}} + {{Authority control}}

• Wikipedia is edited collaboratively by volunteers. You can see all volunteer wikipedia editors who have contributed to any given article and their specific contributions by clicking the "View History" tab of an article.
• Articles on living academics and and individuals editing such these must adhere to the Wikipedia policies on Biographies of Living Persons.
• While all articles in blue links are live and have passed wikipedia peer-review, new biographies of academics can still be subject to deletion (a peer-reviewed wikipedia process) under the wikipedia guidelines for Notability of Academics. To help ensure new articles are not nominated for deletion on notability grounds, a major effort with biographies on academics (and edits thereof) is ensuring articles are as detailed and well-sourced as possible.
• You can easily request automated updates on changes that are made to any given article on wikipedia by adding it to the watchlist of your wikipedia account. More info about making a free wikipedia account is at this link.
