Help:Authorship
From BugwoodWiki
To edit articles in the BugwoodWiki, you must be a BugwoodWiki Scholar. Even then, the BugwoodWiki system 'does not' automatically assign authorship. We leave this upto the site contributors to assign on the various articles. If you make a significant contribution to an article, you should be listed as an author.
Examples of significant contributions include:
- adding a section to article
- improving a section of an article to be more complete
Examples of non-signficant contrubutions include:
- correcting spelling and punctuation
- minor revisions of grammar
This will be an evolving definition as this project develops. We believe most people have a basic understandig of ethics in science and there will be few (if any) disputes over authorship.
Standardizing the author line
The standard Author line (in WikiText) for BugwoodWiki articles is:
''Authors: [[User:USERNAME]], [[ORGANIZATION]]''
- The double single quotes ('') at the begining and end will put the text in italics.
- The USERNAME is whatever username you entered when you made your account. Using the [[User:USERNAME]] will link to your personal page on the BugwoodWiki.
- [[ORGANIZATION]] will link to the page for your institution or company. From that page, visitors can find out a little bit of information on the organization access links to different departments and units.
