Resources Help to Edit If you'd like to edit Wikipedia, you definitely should! It's a lot easier than most people expect. To help you to edit, here are some useful guides: A speedy guide on where to find the different buttons on Wikipedia, and explaining what they do - useful for complete beginners! Very straightforward step-by-step instructions on how to add a piece of information to an existing Wikipedia page - useful for complete beginners! A walkthrough guide on how to create an account and edit Wikipedia, including advice on how to interact with other Wikipedians. A guide to elements to include in a wiki-biography, with a checklist to ensure you include as many as you can when editing. A handout with lots of tips for what to include on a page, including some useful templates to include in pages. An instruction page for adding infoboxes to Wikipedia articles using either Visual Editor or Source Editor. An instruction page explaining what Wikidata is and how Wikidata items are laid out, with instructions for doing basic edits on the reverse. Very simple instructions on how to add a photo you've taken to Wikimedia Commons (you can then add it to a Wikipedia page too!). A checklist for editing Wikipedia with reminders of page elements to include and hyperlinks to helpful pages (e.g. notability, lead section, categories, wikilinks). A case study on using Wikipedia for academic impact and engagement outlining motivations, methods and outcomes. This one-page quick reference helps you to remember the most frequently used wiki markup commands. The Wikimedia Foundation guide to editing Wikipedia The Wikimedia Foundation reference guide to how Wikipedia's quality system works. Inspiration/Sources for Edits The Wellcome has a number of resources that might help provide information or inspiration for Wiki-pages or edits. Many items have been digitised and can be accessed online anywhere. Other items can be accessed at the Library by signing up for a free library card: you can register online and order items in advance so they're waiting for you on your arrival. Women Medics Emma Milliken has compiled an index to the obituaries of Medical Women's Federation members that are contained in issues of its Quarterly or Journal, (which can be found on the catalogue record page). Lots of these women doctors have not yet got Wikipedia pages, though likely several of them do fit notability criteria. The Wellcome Library's holdings of these issues could be really useful to anyone interested in adding some important women to Wikipedia. Key Figures in Nursing History Many of the Royal College of Nursing Presidents don't yet have pages on Wikipedia (or else have quite sparse ones!) - they are certainly notable, so if you'd like to add a page please look at the list on the RCN wiki-page and get editing! The Wellcome Library Blog The Wellcome Library Blog] is a great source of inspiration for people, places, and things to edit. Even if a page exists for the topic, quite often it'll be missing some of the fascinating information that the librarian blog-author has included. Even better: you can link to the Blog as a source! Digitised Materials The Wellcome Library has digitised thousands and thousands of pages of material and made them available online. Take a look at the Wellcome Library Digital Collections to find anything from Arabic manuscripts to Sexology and all kinds of things in between. A few particularly large collections are covered in slightly more detail below... UK Medical Heritage Library The UK Medical Heritage Library is a huge digital repository of medical books, from textbooks to monographs and pamphlets. The UKMHL covers a vast array of topics in medicine and welfare, so take a look and see if it could be useful as a source or as inspiration for a post. Digitised Mental Healthcare Materials The historical records of a number of UK psychiatric institutions and personnel are in the process of being digitised and can be found here. For each set of archive files, there are descriptions of the place/person they're about, which could form the basis of some new pages or improvements to pages (all content on the website is licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence unless otherwise stated). Codebreakers (History of genetics pages for improvement) Some articles on people who played a role in the history of genetics could be much improved, and these might be a good starting point for those unfamiliar to editing. They are listed below, with links to the Wikipedia pages and to some sources from the Wellcome to get you started: C.P. Blacker doesn't have an infobox. There's also more information to add about him here. Malcolm Ferguson-Smith doesn't have an infobox, and his page is a little sparse. There's some relevant information and pictures here. Hans Grüneberg's page is almost all bullet-points. Information and pictures can be found here. Arthur Mourant's page is not particularly extensive at present. Relevant information/images are here. Lionel Penrose's page is quite brief at present, though well referenced. Information on Penrose to use in building up the page is located here. Guido Pontecorvo's page is mostly bullet-points and could be significantly extended using this profile. Robert Russell Race has a page which only consists of about one paragraph. Ruth Sanger's is only marginally better. There is some information to use in improving their pages here. Mental Health & Psychiatry Things from the Library A thematic search of Wellcome library materials in the Alpha Catalogue for mental health and psychiatry turn up lots of people, linked topics or subtopics, and books (some digitised, some not). Take a look! Medical Officer of Health Reports The Wellcome have digitised thousands of Medical Officer of Health Reports for London from 1848-1972. These reports contain both statistical information (which might be of interest to Wikidata users) and narrative accounts of many varied things that affected the health of Londoners. There are many results concerning psychiatric topics. Click View Tables Only to filter the results to show only show data (which can be exported). Images There are tens of thousands (97,460 at current count!) images from the Wellcome Library on Wikimedia Commons. Please use and reuse them!
