Progress on First Article
After keeping a watchful eye on my first article – la Barré Family History – I saw that the article has automatically been updated by internet bots. These bots have automatically added a categorization button which states that the article has not yet been categorized and give the reader a chance to do so. Secondly, another bot has updated the page to include links to the disambiguation page. Other than those minor changes, nothing much has happened to the article in terms of extensions or major changes.
After long and arduous thought on the topic of my second article, I finally found a topic worth covering. In my first 4 years of studying, I lived in a Men’s Residence (U.S. Dormitory version) called Afslaan. I quickly searched Wikipedia for any articles related to Afslaan but found none, paving the way for a new article to be posted on the website.
I quickly started writing a article on the History of the residence and it soon transformed into a information page regarding general residence information, leadership groups, pictures and links. I used some new features from Wikipedia like organizing my article into sections. Wikipedia has a very intelligent feature which automatically adds an index to the article, should the number of sections exceed a normal page-view. This is also particularly helpful should another user wish to add information, one only needs to update the article with a new section and the index will automatically be updated to reflect the changes.
Another feature used in this article was that of a template standard. The templates are created by Wikipedia and easy to use, once you know what you are looking for. The templates provide the author a sure and secure way of adding data which should be in a standardized format.
Uploading images to the article was at first a bit confusing, but after realizing that the images work in the same way as an article, it was pretty straight-forward. Basically, if you upload a picture to an article and that image does not exist in the Wikipedia library, the link to the image turns red, just like an article which does not exist. After posting the article, I basically clicked on the red image link, set its license features and uploaded the image.
I hope to see some changes to the article in the coming days as that would mean that the article is drawing some attention from other readers.
