00:00:00,398 --> 00:00:03,792
Welcome to the Wikipedia
Citation Hunt tool tutorial for beginners!

2
00:00:04,803 --> 00:00:08,248
This is a great tool to contribute
to Wikipedia in a quick and fun way!

3
00:00:08,278 --> 00:00:09,780
The Citation Hunt tool

4
00:00:09,811 --> 00:00:13,221
is actually a “Wikipedia-articles-
with-missing-citations Hunt Tool”.

5
00:00:13,263 --> 00:00:17,583
Currently, the English Wikipedia
includes over 6,4 M articles and counting

6
00:00:17,644 --> 00:00:22,518
and around 5% of them contain one
or more “citation needed” tags as of 2019.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,502
Here we can use the “Citation Hunt” tool -
in order to help editors,

8
00:00:28,543 --> 00:00:32,508
this tool finds sentences
that need citations in Wikipedia.

9
00:00:33,895 --> 00:00:36,477
It is available in several languages

10
00:00:36,523 --> 00:00:41,765
and allows browsing snippets either
randomly or by their article's categories.

11
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:46,481
Here is how to use it:

12
00:00:46,725 --> 00:00:49,540
First, you need to login to Wikipedia.

13
00:00:51,158 --> 00:00:54,298
Then go to the citation hunt tool’s link.

14
00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:06,507
Use the citation hunt.

15
00:01:08,266 --> 00:01:12,745
A topic search box can be found underneath
the 'I got this!' and 'Next!' buttons.

16
00:01:12,786 --> 00:01:15,050
To find articles on education,
for example,

17
00:01:15,091 --> 00:01:17,530
simply type the text into the search box.

18
00:01:17,684 --> 00:01:20,838
You can customize the list of articles
presented more specifically

19
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:22,730
by clicking the Customize button

20
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:25,826
next to the language selector
at the top of the tool.

21
00:01:26,787 --> 00:01:29,512
Wikipedia articles require
reliable, published sources

22
00:01:29,548 --> 00:01:33,150
that directly support the information
presented in the article.

23
00:01:33,437 --> 00:01:38,499
As a general rule, reliable sources are
academic and peer-reviewed publications,

24
00:01:38,531 --> 00:01:42,904
university textbooks, books published
by respected publishing houses,

25
00:01:42,954 --> 00:01:45,765
magazines, journals,
and mainstream newspapers.

26
00:01:46,084 --> 00:01:50,913
Self-published media such as newsletters,
personal websites, books, patents,

27
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,975
open wikis, personal
or group blogs, and tweets,

28
00:01:53,999 --> 00:01:56,539
are usually not acceptable as sources.

29
00:01:56,764 --> 00:01:59,597
Third-party publications
are still preferable.

30
00:01:59,642 --> 00:02:02,178
You should always try to find
the best possible source

31
00:02:02,218 --> 00:02:03,746
for the information you have.

32
00:02:04,355 --> 00:02:06,074
I'm going to show you an example.

33
00:02:06,131 --> 00:02:09,253
I’ve found an article needed citation,

34
00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:15,301
and I’ve found the reliable source –
an academic publication, I can use this.

35
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:19,819
To add the citation,
I click Edit source link

36
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:22,626
Add your reliable source

37
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,162
and press Publish.

38
00:02:27,208 --> 00:02:29,782
That’s it, I’ve contributed to Wikipedia!

39
00:02:34,493 --> 00:02:36,256
And now, for the exercise,

40
00:02:36,288 --> 00:02:41,811
practice adding missing citations
at citationhunt.toolforge.org.

41
00:02:43,023 --> 00:02:45,259
