Wikipedia:GLAM/PoliMi/2016
From 16 to 22 June 2016, an intensive course on Science, technology, society and Wikipedia for PhD students is running at the Polytechnic University of Milan (PoliMi), Italy, with the collaboration of Wikimedia Italia.
Mission and goals[edit]
The course aims to provide some hands-on training in technical writing and, at the same time, to contribute to the general diffusion of scientific and technical knowledge. This will be achieved by engaging Politecnico's Ph.D. students in the production of new material (or improvement of existing material) for Wikipedia.[1]
Attendees are PhD students in various science and technology degrees, in particular engineering, architecture and industrial design. Half of them will write articles in English, half in Italian.
Instructors[edit]
- Teachers: prof. Guido Raos and prof. Chiara Castiglioni
- Lectures (in English): Andy Mabbett, FRSA (WikimediaUK accredited trainer)
- Tutors: Marco Chemello and Niccolò Caranti (Wikimedia Italia accredited trainers).

What we do[edit]
Each student will produce one complete Wikipedia article or more in English and/or Italian. The choice of the language is by the student.
As alternative to the creation of a new article (preferred choice), it is possible to produce extensions to one or more existing articles. The bare translation of an article is not considered sufficient.
The articles will be chosen during the first/second day in agreement with the teachers, and with the tutors' assistance.
New articles will be developed in individual sandboxes. The full articles have to be published by the morning of the last day of the course (June 22).
Additionally, every student should revise at least 3 articles.
