在維基百科上撰寫女性傳記的9條簡單規則
這套準則旨在幫助那些試圖首次創造女性傳記的編輯。它總結瞭如何撰寫傳記的基本要素,這些傳記有很大機會成為百科全書的一部分。
累積經驗的最佳方法之一,就是參考維基百科上現有的女性傳記是如何撰寫的。試著尋找幾篇關於其他人的條目,其背景或興趣與您想撰寫的對象相似。您可能心中已有幾位人選,但也可以利用 眾多現有清單之一,來尋找與您想撰寫對象的職業和/或國籍相符的有用範例。
規則1. 謹慎選擇
Not every woman in history or in today's news can be written about on Wikipedia. For Wikipedia, it is not sufficient to write biographies based on primary sources such as an individual's website, CV or job description, no matter how impressive these may appear. For Wikipedia, notability depends on a person's clear recognition by third parties, what we call notability. Avoid writing about yourself, your colleagues or your friends (or your organization).
In general, it is easier to write the biographies of women who are no longer alive than biographies of living people which need much more careful attention and more detailed sourcing.
規則2.研究
Establish notability with mainstream reliable sources which have been edited or curated such as newspapers, journals, books or award citations. Do not use personal, fan-based, or employer websites; or blogs; or promotional sites such as Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
規則3.寫下它們為什麼重要
The introduction, the first couple of lines of the article should summarize text cited in the body and tell why your subject is important. The body of the article should explain this in more detail with references.
規則4.引用一切
The article needs references to your source material. At a minimum, one source for each paragraph must be given. You can learn how to add references. Add a section called References at the end of the article.
規則5.用你自己的話寫出來
Plagiarism is unethical and could be illegal if you use copyrighted material without properly attributing your source. In general, you should rewrite everything you find in your own words. If you include quotes, you should identify them clearly, citing the author and the source and formatting them as quotes.
規則6.鏈接到其他文章
An article should contain many links to other articles so that it is easy for people to learn more about the subject.
規則7.佈局
Ideally, articles should run to several hundred words although informative stubs articles are also welcome. The article should start with a short introduction followed by a biographical section headed "Biography" or "Life" which can be broken down into sections such as "Early life", "Career" and "Awards". Make sure to include a "References" section at the end of the article, you can also add an External links section to provide URLs to the person's website or to primary sources.
規則8.圖像
Articles can be enhanced with images. But you should not add images you find on the web unless they comply with copyright rules. On the other hand, you are free to use photographs you have taken yourself. (It's not too difficult to upload them on Wikimedia Commons.) To be absolutely safe, you should not add photographs or paintings of people unless the author has been dead for over 70 years. If you are in doubt, you should ask for advice.
規則9.尋求幫助並與人交談
When in doubt, ask someone for advice and help.
