For Newbies

[edit]
  1. Create an account - a Wikipedia user account. Use either your name or an idea or something you can remember. How to edit in Wikipedia
  2. Use the Watchlist to keep track of your favorite ideas (e,g, harm reduction or risk reduction or effective altruism or simple living or anthropic principle), organizations (e.g. Animal Charity Evaluators or American Vegan Society), internationally-significant documents (e.g. Belmont Report and Menlo Report, often historical foundations of global agreements), vegetables and fruits, plant-based industrial foods (e.g. Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger and Oatly and Plant milk - and Vegetarian and vegan dog diet), animals, clean green renewable energy technologies (e.g. Mobility as a service), and journalists (e.g. Jonathan Karl and John Dickerson) and others on Wikipedia.
  3. Don't indulge anger when another person criticizes or undoes your work. Risk of this 'other person's behavior' can be prevented by your writing good Edit Summaries.
  4. Ask someone for help if you often see their name come up in your favorite articles' history, living or previously-having-lived (e.g. User:MaynardClark/Gottfried Müller or Norm Phelps or Rynn Berry).
  5. Learning to use Categories (scroll to bottom of page) will save you energy and frustration in the long-run.
  6. Most users you may hate in the beginning will be able to earn your respect eventually, and you likely will learn to appreciate (and even admire) them (for their pertinacity). [That may not always be the case.]
  7. Trivia sections (which are lame) can be molded into "Cultural references" section with little effort.
  8. Stay away from the "big" articles. Contributing to them is far harder, and quality help is needed elsewhere.
  9. Don't even try to comprehend the music genre articles. They are emotional quicksand, a quagmire--stay very far away. Other 'tough topics' can also be avoided UNLESS you have topical expertise (often at a professional level), as in engineering, science, statistics, pharmacy, etc. Cultivate (and use) emotional intelligence.
  10. Find your appropriate niche(s). There is much to do, but you can't do it all (see quote #2).
  11. If you have foreign language skills, please consider doing interpretation (on articles and projects that interest you) FROM your second or third STRONG language INTO your native language (which you know best). The panel on the left of any Wikipedia article shows the languages into which that article has already been translated. Consider checking out each of the articles' translations for accuracy (and completeness) and currency. Non-English articles can be edited independently of their English language correlate. You are invited to translate FROM ENGLISH *ANY* of the English language I have researched, started, authored, or edited (see my contributions).
  12. WP:IAR
  13. This is not final direction but 'preliminary advice' to get you (and others) going.
  14. Please consider helping me on ANY of my current draft articles. Start perhaps with User:MaynardClark/Gottfried Müller, who designed the Kurdish flag, founded Christian vegetarian orphanages, and authored three books in German (and at least one translated into English).
  15. Please consider visiting and watching ANY or ALL of my current draft articles and past article contributions. See below for a nearly complete list of my contributions.
  16. A userpage subpage (e.g. for Wikipedia philosophical discussions) can offload 'growing content' of a Wikipedian's ongoing reflections (e.g. Userpage/Wikipedia).

Online Memorials

[edit]

Notable Vegetarians

Maynard has developed some Wikipedia 'memorial' articles for then (at that time) recently-passed (at that time) vegetarians.[1]

The mission failed. Ramzi and the Germans operatives were taken prisoners by British and Iraqi forces, tortured and given the death sentence. Gottfried Müller managed to escape and return to Germany where he lived until his death on 26 September 2009.

  • Norm Phelps - 19 July 2012 (article begun by SlimVirgin) - upgraded on 5 January 2015 after death of Norm Phelps
  • Rynn Berry - 12 January 2014 (opened it as a draft) - published it 24 March 2014

Harvard Faculty

Maynard has developed some Wikipedia 'memorial' articles for Harvard Faculty at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health who had recently died, but who at the time had no Wikipedia articles, despite their considerable accomplishments and scientific contributions:

Some of these Wikipedia 'memorial' articles were for Harvard Faculty with whom he had worked at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health:

Several Harvard School of Public Health Faculty (including Joseph Brain) and archival staff and steering committee members of the Countway Medical Library had (before the coronavirus pandemic) organized interested Wikipedians and other persons into a task force that would methodically, systematically develop informative Wikipedia articles on notable HSPH faculty. That effort stalled for various reasons.

Harvard Divinity School Faculty

Maynard has worked on some Wikipedia articles for the Harvard Divinity School Faculty

The full list of Maynard Clark's Wikipedia Contributions

[edit]

About 3000 Articles - At Least 237 Articles Started from Scratch

Wikipedia Contributions
In college, I was noted as 'Most Widely-Read Undergraduate' (in a large state university). It's fitting that I now enjoy contributing to Wikipedia as an avocation.

  • I first learned about Wikipedia at a mid-day luncheon meeting of the Boston Vegan Meetup in Harvard Square, where another vegan (a software developer) told me about this great new free-content online encyclopedia that had been created to complement Nupedia. I may have become one of the earlier users of Wikipedia long before I began microediting articles, typically punctuation on articles I read for the purposes of my professional work at the Harvard Medical School.
  • I have been a Wikipedian since early February 2007 (20 February 2007) and spend far TOO MUCH time on it. I have been a Wikipedian editor now for 14+ years (about 2000 edits per year, and about 5.5 edits/day).

I attended the 2011 Wikipedia conference at Simmons College in Boston. That's 'dedication'! Becoming an encyclopedist has its own history and is not without precedent. Family members loved learning, sold encyclopedias on the side, worked as a librarian, read voraciously, studied history, etc.. My first youthful article was taken mostly from encyclopedia material found in the library, supplemented by some primary sources. Good grades "incentivized" the belief that the encyclopedia is a good place for newcomers to begin. I sold Encyclopedia Britannica during and after college. One senior Faculty member in my major praised me as "the most widely read undergraduate I've ever met." Today, despite academic bolstering, I remain (cautiously) enthusiastic that the online Wikipedia is a great place for a newcomer to get bearings on a topic, from which to form future research questions.

I have made over 31,080 edits and worked on more than 4,240 articles so far. I've started hundreds - many Wikipedia articles were accepted (and some have NOT been accepted). Statistics will need to be kept more carefully, but over these past fifteen years, that is over 2020 edits per year and about 5.6 edits/day [5.6 for 4,595 days]- not that many, but far more than most registered 'Wikipedian editors' do on Wikipedia!). These ~4,240 accepted Wikipedia articles (plus some that have NOT been accepted) years ago had been broken down (approximately) as follows (so this is not current):

  • User:MaynardClark/Gottfried Müller Gottfried Müller designed the Kurdish flag, founded Christian vegetarian orphanages around the world, and authored at least three books in German (and at least one had been translated into English).- A similarly named article (by another set of Wikipedians) had been deleted previously. This draft references Operation Mammoth and Salem International.
  • Frank L. Hoffman - 23 July 2012 - Returned for userfication on 2 December 2014

Several of his articles have been rejected; most (not all) of those dealt with vegetarian topics. Those included articles on:
