| | Biology Week is a big "online convention" of ''Biologists'' here on the ''Citizendium.'' Would you like to see more work done on articles about {{pl|Biology}} on Citizendium? Then such events are your chance to make a difference. |
|
| |
|
| | An archive of the first Biology Week's (held here from Sep 22-28, 2008) page can be found [[CZ:Biology Workgroup/Biology Week Sep 22-28, 2008|here]. For planning and administration of Biology Week, go [[CZ:Biology_Workgroup/Biology_Week_planning|here]]. |

| == Background information for newcomers ==
| |
| *[[CZ:Biology_Week/Primer|A note from the Biology Week Coordinators]]
| |
|
| |
|
| | == Brief summary of events during the first Biology Week== |
| | During the period of these roughly seven days, a total of about 20 biology authors (most of them active on the site before Biology Week) have started 11 biology clusters and edited another 40, with little change in status towards [[CZ:Approval|approval]]. For comparison, the monthly [[CZ:Write-a-thon|Write-a-thon]]s usually see about 15 authors (rarely including newcomers) starting around 10 clusters on that day's predefined theme and edit another 15 or so, with even less progress towards approval. |
|
| |
|
| == How do I register to participate in Biology Week ==
| |
| * [[Special:RequestAccount|Request a Citizendium account]]
| |
| ** Register as a Biology Author.
| |
| ** If you qualify for expertise in an area of biology, please also register as a Biology Editor.
| |
| * It takes only a few minutes at most to fill out the form
| |
| * Within hours, 24 at most, you will receive login information
| |
| ''In case of problems with registration, please contact [[CZ:Constables|the constables]] (who handle technical matters here at Citizendium) via an email to [mailto:constables@citizendium.org constables@citizendium.org].''

|
| == What exactly can you contribute to Biology Week? == | | ===Lessons learned === |
| [[Image:Writing_amoeba.png|right|55px|Hi! I'm an amoeba and I write Citizendium articles. So can you!]]
| | *Recruitment was ineffective for both registered users and newcomers |
| In principle, you have two ways to contribute
| | *The amount of collaborative editing was higher than on usual days but did not go much beyond the level of the Write-a-thons |
| # by improving [[:Category:Biology_Workgroup|existing articles listed as biological]], especially the '''[[CZ:Core_Articles/Biology|Core]]''' and '''[[CZ:Biology_Workgroup#High_priority_articles|High Priority]]''' articles or
| | *''(add your's here )'' |
| # by [[CZ:Start Article|starting new articles]] fitting in there.
| |
| | |
| ''Lecturers and other instructors have a third option - assigning Citizendium articles as coursework via our [[CZ:Eduzendium|Eduzendium initiative]].''
| |
| | |
| == How to improve existing biology articles? ==
| |
| You can improve
| |
| # the content, phrasing, structure or illustration of an article
| |
| # the content phrasing or structure of an article's [[CZ:Subpages|subpages]] (''e.g''. [[:Category:Biology Related Article Subpages|Related Articles]], [[:Category:Biology Bibliographies|Bibliography]], [[:Category:Biology External Link Subpages|External Links]], [[:Category:Biology Galleries|Gallery]], [[:Category:Biology Video Subpages|Video]], or [[:Category:Biology need def|Definitions]]).
| |
| ''If an article has already been approved, improvements (subject to re-approval) are still encouraged; for the editable version of the article, click on the "draft" tab, which you can see for example at the top of [[Life]].''
| |
| | |
| == How to start new biology articles at Citizendium? ==
| |
| * If you are new to Citizendium, please take a look [[CZ:Quick_Start|here]] and start writing. During Biology Week, many people familiar with formatting will be around to help you.
| |
| * If you are new to [[Biology]], you can invite biologists to help you. To this end, please announce your article in the appropriate section below. | |
