Vikipeedia:Tere tulemast Vikipeediasse

Lehekülge tuleb tõlkida ja kohandada!

Siin tõlgitakse ja kohandatakse trükist "Welcome to Wikipedia". Praegu on see väga inglise viki keskne, peaks lisama eesti vikit puudutavat infot, aga teksti maht peaks kokkuvõttes samaks jääma.

NOTE: Text in [square brackets] is not printed. [Frontcover] [Background image that will echo throughout the piece] Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. -Jimmy Wales [Brochure title:] Welcome to Wikipedia [Wikipedia logo] Welcome to Wikipedia Wikipedia is the largest encyclopedia in the world. It is created and maintained by more than 100 thousand contributors from around the world. Every month, Wikipedia receives over 388 million unique visitors. Wikipedia features more than 16 million articles in over 260 languages. It is free to use, free to edit, and free of advertisements. (Data from July 2010) [Sara {new01.bmp}] Hi! My name is Sara. I use Wikipedia whenever I need to learn more about a topic. But lately I have been wondering, who writes these articles? Why do articles change sometimes? I have read that anyone can edit Wikipedia. Can I do that too? How? After reading Welcome to Wikipedia, you will be able to: Understand how Wikipedia works Create a Wikipedia user account Understand Wikipedia's user interface List the different ways you can contribute to Wikipedia Communicate with other users through your My talk page Explain how an article evolves on Wikipedia Describe the attributes of a quality article Create a new article How does Wikipedia work? Everything on Wikipedia has been written by people like you. In fact, Wikipedia would not be the world's largest online encyclopedia without people continuously contributing information, images, and data. Wikipedia grows by nearly 1200 articles per day and over 4 million contributions per month. (Data from July 2010) Many contributors(Wikipedians)share an aspiration to provide free knowledge to everyone. That is the reason why people all over the world volunteer their time to protect and improve the quality of Wikipedia articles. By allowing everyone to access, download, and reuse content, Wikipedia provides many options for sharing knowledge. [Sara {new03.bmp}] But who decides what gets published? An editor-in-chief, somewhere?" Wikipedians create so many new articles and edit existing articles so often that it would be almost impossible to have a team large enough to review and validate every single change made to the encyclopedia. Instead, Wikipedia relies on input from contributors around the world to create the world's largest repository of encyclopedic content. Most people who participate in making Wikipedia better find that it is both an entertaining and rewarding exercise. While the social aspect of working toward a goal is fun, most active users are driven by their passion to distribute free knowledge to the world. [Sara {new16.bmp}] Helping everyone across the world get access to free content makes a lot of sense to me. Tell me more. Where can I start? Try it! Who can edit existing articles in Wikipedia? Select the correct answer. Only experienced editors Wikipedia's Editor-in-chief Anyone who has access to the Internet Answers to this question and others quizzes can be found on the back of this reference guide. Create a Wikipedia account Creating a user account is a good first step when you begin contributing to Wikipedia. An account allows you to create new articles (pages), upload images, and rename pages. You also get access to special features, such as My watchlist. A watchlist lets you follow the articles that you are editing as well and bookmark other interesting pages. To add an article to your watchlist, click the star icon at the top of the article. More importantly, since all your edits are assigned to your account username, you have an identity on Wikipedia. This helps you interact with others that edit the same articles, and helps you become a trusted member of the community. As you get accustomed to Wikipedia, you will find that you have more to say in discussions and you might help others solve problems. You can edit Wikipedia without having an account. However, without an account, your edits are assigned to your computer's Internet protocol (IP) address. The Wikipedia community tends to distrust edits from an IP address, especially if it is traced to a school or company network where unregistered users may make edits based on their biased interests. Editing articles where it might be hard to remain impartial is considered a conflict of interest on Wikipedia. For example, if a student edits an article about her school, she may have a biased perspective on the school's national importance. It is easy to create a Wikipedia account and you are not required to provide any personal information: 1. Click Log in/create account, located at the top right side of the page. 2. Choose your Username 3. Select your Password. 4. Click Create account [Sara{new05.bmp}] That was quick! Now that I have an account, I can work with other contributors to create quality articles. Try it! Create a Wikipedia account Create a watchlist of your favorite Wikipedia articles by clicking the star at the top of the article page. Study how changes to the article are tracked on your watchlist. Wikipedia user interface [Help] Help provides assistance to learn more about how Wikipedia works. [Wikipedia languages] Wikipedia exists in over 250 languages. [Discussion] Discussion appears at the top of each article. Discussion is a place for you and other contributors to plan article structure, discuss and build consensus on article content, and ask for help from one another. [View history] View history allows you to view and compare past versions of the page. [Search] Search takes you to the article that matches your query. If the article does not exist, it displays the articles in which the word(s) appears. [Recent changes] Recent changes allows you to view edits made to all Wikipedia articles in chronological order. This allows you to monitor articles for mistakes and vandalism. [Log in/create account] Create account, at the top right of the page, gives you access to all features of Wikipedia and helps build your online profile. [Sara {new012.bmp}] Who wrote this article? I really like it! I am not sure I can write an article as good as this one. Try it! Click Recent changes for any article and study the page. Notice how each edit is timestamped and attributed to a specific user or IP address. Observe how some contributors explain their edits. Explaining an edit is a good practice because it helps others understand why you made the edit. Sara's friend Josh just started editing and finds that he needs information about policies and guidelines, community standards, and general help for editors. Where can he find assistance? Select the correct answer: Recent changes Help Search How can I contribute? Did you know that there are many different roles you can play on Wikipedia? Writing is just one of the many options. Here are some of the roles and what they do: WikiGnome: Makes minor edits, for example, spelling corrections. Suggests article improvements by leaving a message for the authors on the article's Talk page, which is accessed by clicking Discussion. Copyeditor: Improves the language and grammar in an article. Formatter: Structures or "wikifies" articles, using wiki markup, so they are easier to read. Maintainer: Monitors articles for biased edits and corrects them. A maintainer watches out for changes made by contributors with a personal agenda or political/philosophical point of view, and ensures that factual accuracy is maintained in the articles. Illustrator: Uploads images, photographs, maps, and visual aids relevant to the article. Author: Adds information to articles from books, websites, newspapers, and other credible sources. An author also initiates the creation of new articles. Mediator: Moderates discussion on controversial topics, helps resolve disputes, and provides guidance on contributor behavior. [Sara{new017.bmp}] I just corrected an historical fact about Lahore, a city in Pakistan, and guess what? My edits went live as soon as I saved the page. How exciting! Try it! Sara likes to take pictures of the places she visits. If she contributes her pictures to Wikipedia she is: Illustrator Author Mediator Formatter User page and My talk page [Sara{new08.bmp}] What just happened? The edit I made to the article is gone. Did someone take it out? Why would someone do that? There are thousands of contributors who edit Wikipedia each day. Some edits are not verifiable or are made with a biased perspective. That is why some Wikipedians monitor almost all edits using Recent changes (under Interaction in the left menu bar). This feature provides an overview of all edits made in a particular language version of Wikipedia. Because some Wikipedians monitor huge numbers of edits they may sometimes delete an edit that is accurate but not well-written. To prevent that from happening to you, it is important that you write factual information and reference reliable sources. Another way is to follow Wikipedia's preferred writing style. Search: "Wikipedia:Manual of Style" To provide authenticity to your edits, maintain your User page. It is a good way to build trust. Every account has a User page and a My talk page. You can find the links for the User page and the My talk page at the top right of your screen. Your User page is accessed by clicking on your username which appears next to the bust icon. Click Edit to write about yourself. Then click Save page at the bottom of the screen when you are finished writing. On your User page you can write about yourself, your special knowledge, and your interest in particular articles. This is also a place where you can mention your affiliations or if you have a potential conflict of interest. For example, it might be hard for you to remain neutral if you edit an article about the organization where you work. However, you can use your in-depth knowledge of your organization to list verifiable sources of information. That way, when you read information about your organization that is inaccurate or outdated, you could leave a message on the article's Discussion page citing the discrepancy and leading article authors to your User page. The authors can then evaluate your sources and use them to update the article on Wikipedia. My talk and Discussion is a place where other contributors can leave messages for you and you can respond. Many contributors leave welcome greetings to new users. Others might use the space to start a conversation to get to know you or better understand your edits. Every article also has a Discussion page. This page is used by Wikipedians to plan how they will collaborate on the content and resolve conflicts. If someone wonders why you have made an edit, or would like to recommend another article to you, they will use the article's Discussion page. The article Discussion page is also a good place to ask for help with the article. Note: Discussion and My talk are also called "talk pages" by the community. [Sara{new013.bmp}] Oh, someone just left a note on my My talk page. The message explains that my edits were reverted because I had not cited a source. Since the fact is mentioned on the government website, I will make the edit again. This time I will include the source in the references section below the article itself. That should work. Try it! Click your username and then click Edit, in order to edit your User page. Explore the various options in the editing toolbar - B (Bold), I (Italics), and the Link symbol. Click Advanced to see the format tools. Wiki markup quick reference is available at the back of this brochure. Life of an article Although the articles in Wikipedia should be detailed and well written, no one is expected to write a comprehensive article in just one draft. Articles typically start small and then mature through extensive collaboration, often following a pattern like this: Most successful articles start small and consist of a summary of the topic (overview), a statement that tells why the topic is noteworthy ("the first...", "the biggest...", "the capital of...", etc.), and a source outside Wikipedia confirming the existence and importance of the topic (a credible publication or website). This basic article is called a "stub". If any of the three items are missing the community may assume the topic is not important and delete the article. As other users add text and images to an article, it matures from a topical overview to a more detailed article that captures various perspectives such as historical (for example "in 1923, new factors..."), or global (for example "in Europe, this was viewed as..."). More active contributors might nominate their article for a Wikipedia peer review process. The Wikipedia peer review process involves close scrutiny of the article's quality from a broad group of Wikipedians. The process is applied to articles that have undergone extensive work. The review process involves addressing comments, questions and suggestions from the peer reviewers. Based on the feedback, the article writers plan their article improvement strategy using the article's Discussion page. Finally, an article reaches a level where it is so well-written, sourced, and comprehensive, that only experts can add much value to it. These articles might be designated as "good articles". A few articles could be recognized by the community as being of the highest quality. These are designated as ''featured articles''. Featured articles are displayed on the Wikipedia main page. It takes time and effort to write articles at this level. Collaborating to create a featured article is gratifying and also enhances your status in the Wikipedia community. Just as all other articles, a featured article continues to be edited. [Sara {new015.bmp}] I dream about contributing to an article that appears on the main page of a website with millions of readers. Try it! What does the Wikipedia peer review process involve? Select the correct answer: Review of article quality by a group of Wikipedians Review of article quality by a group of experts Review of article quality by Wikimedia Foundation What makes a quality article? A quality Wikipedia article is the result of a well defined structure, encyclopedic content, and an active community: Structure: Providing a clear article structure helps readers easily find information and helps editors keep all aspects of a topic well organized. One way to learn about structure is to study featured articles, Wikipedia's finest articles. You can access all featured articles by going to the Wikipedia main page. At the bottom of Today's featured article, click More featured articles... then scroll down to Contents and select the subject that interests you. Most quality articles have the following structure: Lead section that summarizes the key points covered in an article. Note that the lead section is without a header. The body of the article follows the lead section and includes specific headers and subheaders. A geographic location, for example, might have the following headers: history, geography, climate, economy, civic administration, demographics, culture, references, and external links. Appendices and footnotes appear after the body of the article. These may include bibliographies, links to other Wikipedia articles, notes and references, relevant publications, and websites. Content: Many Wikipedians consider content the most important factor in judging an article's quality. To ensure consistent quality, the Wikipedia community created these four guidelines. Provide Sources: Writers are encouraged to provide sources for further information. Every fact should be verifiable by a reliable source. Neutral Point of View: Articles must be written fairly, without bias, and present previously published notable views. No Promotional Content: Promotional material, how-to instructions, resumes, and sales catalogs do not belong in Wikipedia. No Original Research: It is not appropriate to include your own new ideas on a subject (Wikipedia calls this original research), or your personal opinions about a subject. Community: All contributions to Wikipedia are freely licensed to the public. That means that no editor owns any article. All contributions can and will be heavily edited by many different users. In other words, everybody can join in the decision making process. The community also uses Discussion to agree on the content structure for the article. For times when consensus is hard to reach, check out the various options available at Help > The Wikipedia community. Some writers and editors have years of experience with Wikipedia and their experience can be a valuable resource for resolving conflicts. Try it! The body of an article has no headers. Select the correct answer. True False What aspects should a quality encyclopedic article have? Select the correct answers. Verifiable sources Neutral point of view How-to instructions Summary, body, footnotes Create a new article [Sara{new010.bmp}]I cannot find an article about this subject. Should I wait for someone else to start the article? There are many topics that do not have an article on Wikipedia. If you think a topic is missing from Wikipedia, search variations of the topic name. For example, try different spellings. Also check if the subject is mentioned in closely related topics. A island for example, may be mentioned in an article about its country. If the topic is not mentioned in Wikipedia, maybe it is too obscure to write about, such as a garage band or an unknown person with a blog. However, if you feel that the topic should genuinely be included in Wikipedia, consider creating the article yourself. Search the article title. If the article does not exist, you will see the article title in a red hyperlink. Click the hyperlink to start editing a new article. Your new article will get a good start, if you remember to provide the following three elements: Summary of the topic Reason why the topic is notable Reference to a credible source about the topic Create your own workspace or "sandbox" where you can edit your article until it has all the three critical elements. To create your sandbox: Go to your user page> Click Edit> Write [[User:<Your user name>/Sandbox]] > Save page> Click the link you just created. You are now in your sandbox! Use the sandbox to write your article. Do not forget to click Save page when you are done editing. When you are ready, find another Wikipedia editor who might be interested in the topic. One way to find an editor is to look at the View history tab of an article on a similar topic and see who has contributed to that article. Leave a message on the that editor's Discussion page with a request to review your article. When you are ready, copy the article content from your sandbox, go to the topic name you have chosen, click Edit, paste the content and save the page. Now, that you have created a new article, do not stop here. Link your article to other articles where your topic is mentioned. [Sara{new02.bmp}] My very first Wikipedia article is now online!

MÄRKUS: [Nurksulgudes] tekst on kommentaarid. [Esikaas] [Taustapilt] "Kujutle maailma, kus igal inimesel on vaba juurdepääs kõigile inimkonna teadmistele." Jimmy Wales [Trükise pealkiri:] Tere tulemast Vikipeediasse [Vikipeedia logo] [Esimene lehekülg] Vikipeedia on maailma suurim entsüklopeedia. Seda kirjutab ja hoiab korras üle 100 000 kaastöölise üle maailma. Igal kuul loeb Vikipeediat üle 388 miljonit inimese. Vikipeedias on üle 16 miljoni artikli rohkem kui 270 keeles. Seda saab tasuta kasutada ja vabalt täiendada ning seal ei ole reklaami. (andmed 2010. aasta juuli seisuga) [Saara] Tere! Mina olen Saara. Ma kasutan Vikipeediat, kui tahan mõnest asjast rohkem teada saada. Aga ma olen mõelnud, kes neid artikleid kirjutab ja miks need mõnikord muutuvad? Ma olen lugenud, et igaüks saab Vikipeediat täiendada. Kas ka mina saan seda teha? Kuidas? Pärast selle trükise lugemist: oled saanud teada, kuidas Vikipeedia toimib oskad luua kasutajakontot tunned Vikipeedia kasutajaliidest tead kaastöö tegemise erinevaid võimalusi oskad teistega suhelda kasutajate arutelulehtedel tead, kuidas artiklid Vikipeedias arenevad tunned ära hea artikli oskad luua uut artiklit Kuidas Vikipeedia toimib? Kogu Vikipeedia sisu on kirjutanud inimesed nagu Sina. Ilma järjekindlalt infot lisavate kasutajateta poleks Vikipeedia maailma suurim veebientsüklopeedia. Päevas lisandub ligi 1200 artiklit ja ühes kuus tehakse üle 4 miljoni muudatuse. (andmed 2010. aasta juuli seisuga) Paljusid kaastöölisi seob ühine püüdlus teadmiste vaba leviku poole. See ongi põhjus, miks inimesed üle maailma teevad vabatahtlikku tööd, et kaitsta ja arendada Vikipeedia artiklite kvaliteeti. Võimaldades igaühel sisu lugeda, kopeerida ja uuesti kasutada, pakub Vikipeedia mitmeid võimalusi teadmiste levikuks. [Saara] Aga kes otsustab, mida avaldatakse? Mõni vastutav toimetaja?" Vabatahtlikud kaastöölised loovad nii palju uusi artikleid ja teevad muudatusi olemasolevatesse nii tihti, et isegi piisavalt suurel meeskonnal oleks peaaegu võimatu üle vaadata ja kinnitada iga üksikut muudatust. Selle asemel toetub Vikipeedia nendele samadele vabatahtlikele kaastöölistele kogu maailmast, kes üksteise tööd kontrollivad. Enamik inimesi, kes annavad oma panuse Vikipeedia arengusse, leiavad, et see on äratasuv ja isegi meelelahutuslik tegevus. Samal ajal kui koos teistega ühise eesmärgi suunas tegutsemine toob sotsiaalset rahuldust, köidab paljusid kaastöölisi just vaba informatsiooni levitamise idee. [Saara] Eesmärk aidata igaühel maailmas vabalt infole ligi pääseda meeldib mulle väga. Millest ma võiksin alustada? Kas jäi meelde? Kes saab muuta Vikipeedias olemasolevaid artikleid? Vali õige vastus. Ainult kogenud redigeerijad Vikipeedia vastutav toimetaja Igaüks, kellel on internetiühendus Selle ja järgmiste küsimuste vastused leiad trükise viimaselt leheküljelt. Loo Vikipeedia kasutajakonto Kasutajakonto loomine sobib hästi esimeseks sammuks kaastööd tegema asudes. Registreeritud kasutajana saad Sa üles laadida pilte ja teisaldada lehekülgi uue nime alla. Lisaks saad siis kasutada erivõimalusi, nagu näiteks jälgimisloendit. Isiklikku jälgimisloendisse saad lisada artikleid, millega parasjagu töötad, ja teisi huvipakkuvaid lehekülgi. Et lisada artiklit jälgimisloendisse, kliki tähekesel artikli ülaservas. Mis veelgi tähtsam, kuna kõik Sinu tehtud muudatused on seotud Sinu kasutajanimega, on Sul Vikipeedias identiteet. Nii saad suhelda teiste kasutajatega, kes samu artikleid redigeerivad, ja teenida ära Vikipeedia kogukonna usalduse. Vikipeedias tegutsedes leiad aja jooksul, et Sul on aruteludes järjest rohkem öelda ja et Sa saad aidata teistel kasutajatel probleeme lahendada. Sa saad redigeerida Vikipeediat ka ilma kasutajaks registreerumata. Siis seotakse Sinu tehtud muudatused Sinu arvuti IP-aadressiga. Vikipeedia kogukonna silmis on anonüümsed redigeerijad vähem usaldusväärsed, kuna ühte IP-aadressi võivad kasutada mitu inimest, samuti on erinevad IPaadressid väga sarnased.
