Wikipedia and Wikimedia project involvement
I actively edit articles on English Wikipedia, which is how I started my involvement in our global community to crowdsource open, free, and credible knowledge. I strive to cite reliable, third party independent published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to support all claims that are made here on this encyclopedia. While I believe in the motto Be Bold, I avoid any editing that may be construed as a conflict of interest. While few guidelines across any of the Wikimedia Projects are completely clear, I personally find that working with others in good faith often produces the best results overall, both on and off wiki.
Beyond editing, I (Jeffrey) am involved in a number of Wikipedia + Wikimedia projects across the Movement:
- Chair, Affiliations Committee (AffCom)
- Member, Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2 Drafting Committee (this work has concluded)
- Wikimedia Movement Strategy: Integrator, Writer, and Co-Coordinator of the Capacity Building Working Group (this work has concluded)
- Election Facilitator for the Affiliate-Selected Board Seats (ASBS) election, 2019 (this work has concluded)
- Member, Wikimedia New York City
- Member & AffCom Reporting Representative, LGBT+ User Group & Wiki Cemeteries User Group
- Member, Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network
- Member, Wiki Project Med Foundation
- Member, WikiConference North America User Group
- New page reviewer
- Former member of the Project Grants Committee before the grants process shifted to a new model (this work has concluded)
I also work as the Wikipedian-in-Residence WIR at PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute), and in this capacity engage in the advocacy, negotiation, relationship-building, training, consultation and the like, such as editing articles, related to promoting the development and distribution of health care content on Wikimedia projects related to patient-centered health care. As such, I advocate the medical guidelines within MEDRS and MEDMOS to guide my edits on medical articles and do all I can to avoid conflicts of interest in medicine-related articles on Wikipedia.

Verbiage for student edits
Student Editing Issue | Verbiage |
---|---|
FOR MY STUDENTS who have not finished the assignment | Please finish all parts of this assignment for this week and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who did not indent their replies | Please remember to indent your replies with one colon " : " for each level of indent you want, as this helps with readability. Do this as a reply and then ping me here, and then I will take a look at it and reply. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who did not space near the " / " | Please edit your post title to include spaces between the week / your user name and the " / " and then reply to me here and I will review. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who did not sign their posts | Please remember to sign each of your posts using four tilde characters <nowiki> ~~~~ <nowiki> at the end. Do this as a reply and then ping me here, and then I will take a look at it and reply. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who did not assign themselves the article | Please assign yourself this article in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who did not include their edit diff | Your edit does not fulfill the Wikipedia policy of using reliable, third-party [[WP:INDEPENDENT]] published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy [[WP:RELIABLE]]. Always use a reliable source, such as to an academic journal article or other high-quality reference as discussed in the assignment and in class. Avoid blogs, corporate websites, reviews, press releases, and opinion pieces as they generally do not count as reliable sources. Please either assign yourself a different article and add a credible source that is needed to it or find and cite a more reliable source to the one you edited. Ping me here when done and I will review. |
FOR MY STUDENTS who added a citation but did not explain it | Citations alone generally do not add value. Beyond adding a citation alone, make sure to provide a sentence or two within the article itself to express your contribution in context (which the citation will support). This will demonstrate how your addition adds to the overall knowledge in the article. Please add a sentence or two to the article you edited and then ping me here when done. |
