If I have web address URL, a journal article DOI code, book ISBN number or a Pubmed Identifier I can auto generate citations using the Cite dropdown menu and these will also save as references at the foot of the page when I publish my edits. [7]

Templates I can add

edit
  • This is a new user
  • Infobox Wikipedia user (for your own userpage)
  • Infobox person (for generic biography articles)
  • new user article (for putting on Talk pages of articles you have newly published in the Wikipedia main space).

My example image

edit

I will do a keyword search of the 85 million free to use images in Wikipedia's sister project, Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. I can upload my own 'open-licensed' images to Wikimedia Commons if they are my own work, public domain or CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licensed. I can look for open licensed images using image search aggregator tools like the Creative Commons "CC Search tool" and filtering my search for Public domain, CC-0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA images.

Categories

edit

These appear at the foot of the Wikipedia page and are added to published pages in the Wikipedia main article space. You can find categories in the Visual Editor dropdown menu indicated with 3 horizontal lines.

Hi, I'm Stinglehammer (Ewan).

Stinglehammer
— Wikipedian ♂ —
Name
Ewan McAndrew
Country  Scotland

I'm employed as a Wikimedian in Residence at The University of Edinburgh.

I have a second Wikipedia account (User:EMcAndrew) which I use for training purposes. And User:VidEwan for video tutorials.

This is one of the many reasons why we do this: WATCH "Life in a Day - Abel and his laptop" (with thanks to Martin Poulter for providing the heads up on the link)

If you ever feel like getting involved in some of our projects or training sessions then message me, by all means. I'd be glad to hear from you.

The old project page for the residency is located here: Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh and my blog is here: http://thinking.is.ed.ac.uk/wir/. But our new (since 2020) student-created website can be accessed here.

Real name: Ewan McAndrew Email: ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk Twitter handle: @emcandre Location: Glasgow and Edinburgh

About me

edit

I have an MA in English (Literature & Language) & Modern History from University of Glasgow, a postgraduate diploma (PgDip) in Software Development from Glasgow Caledonian University and a PGDE in English & Media Teaching from University of Strathclyde. I also hold a TEFL certificate from I-to-I and have undertaken short courses in creative writing & screenwriting. I most recently completed on the Information Management MSc course at the University of Northumbria (accredited by CILIP and the ARA).

Witches

edit

Our students have helped created a Wikidata map of Accused Witches in Scotland: Accused Witches in Scotland

Wikimedia in the Curriculum

edit

We created a new booklet of case studies of Wikimedia in the Curriculum (UK) which is available at: Wikimedia in UK Education

Celtic Knot

edit

We hosted the first Celtic and Minority Language Wikipedia Conference in 2017 and happily this has been repeated every year since with hosts such as the National Library of Wales, the University of Exeter/Cornish Wikipedia, Wikimedia Ireland, and Wikimedia Norge.

Things I like

edit

I love travelling, music, history, cinema and literature, and this all feeds into my regular day-job of teaching of English & Media Studies. I'm interested in all kinds of stories (movies, books, plays) and create my own stories from time to time. Above all, I'm passionate about the idea of lifelong learning and broadening your horizons. Hence why I'm here and why I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar, piano and mandolin (all very badly).

Articles of interest

edit

Dr Humphrey Southall, Reader in Geography, University of Portsmouth, written with Dr Martin Poulter, describe a Wikipedia-based assignment given to first-year students in Applied Human Geography and also looking at how academics can inform the widest public about their subject, and raise awareness of the reliable sources used in research.

UCL Centre for Translation Studies (CenTraS) ran an event for 36 postgraduate translation studies students, all new to editing Wikipedia, to learn how to contribute to the online encyclopedia anyone can edit. Co-organiser Dr Mira Vogel discusses its success.

Prezi presentation.
