working (6do encyclopedia)



Working in the style of Wikipedia involves numerous elements that set it apart from other styles of work. Wikipedia is a free, online encyclopedia that has been created by volunteers from around the world. These edit contributors work on pages and articles related to all fields, including history, science, art, culture, and more.

The process of working in the style of Wikipedia involves a mix of community collaboration, research, and structure. Here are the key elements of this style of work:

Collaboration

One of the biggest advantages of working in the style of Wikipedia is the opportunity for collaboration. Being a free and open-source platform, Wikipedia depends solely on its collaborative community of editors and contributors. This community works together to create informative and accurate content that is easily accessible.

Collaboration comes in the form of editing Wikipedia articles, adding new pages and content, contributing to discussions, and sharing knowledge. All members of the community are encouraged to contribute in their areas of expertise and to work together to create the best possible content.

Research

Working in the style of Wikipedia requires extensive research. For an article to be considered quality content, all information must be researched and sourced properly. This means that any new information introduced into an article must be backed up with credible sources, such as academic journals, scientific reports, or reputable news outlets.

The research process can be time-consuming, but it is critical to ensure accuracy and credibility. Citation is the backbone of a Wikipedia article, and all materials must be clearly cited and attributed.

Structure

Working in the style of Wikipedia also requires structure in terms of writing and formatting. All Wikipedia articles must have a uniform structure that includes an introduction, body, and conclusion.

The introduction should provide a summary of the article and the key points to be covered within the body. The body of the article should contain the main discussion, including all necessary information sourced through the research process. The conclusion should reiterate the main points covered in the article and encourage further reading and research.

Formatting also plays a critical role in Wikipedia articles. The platform uses a unique format that includes internal links, headings, and citations. Everything from headings to citations must be properly formatted and uniform throughout the article.

Conclusion

Overall, working in the style of Wikipedia involves collaboration, research, and structure. Collaboration is key to the success of Wikipedia, and it’s important to work together to produce the most informative and accurate content. Research is critical to ensure accuracy and credibility, and structuring is vital to organizing the content and making it easily accessible to readers.

If you’re looking to work in the style of Wikipedia, be sure to follow the guidelines and rules set forth by the community, and remember that collaboration and research are always at the heart of producing quality content.

Brussels praises resilience of EU economy

Financial Times

23-05-15 17:19


The European Commission has raised its forecasts for EU inflation and economic growth, stating that the economy had weathered the disruption caused by the war in Ukraine and a continuing energy crisis and had avoided what was previously viewed as an “inevitable” winter recession. The commission said EU-wide consumer price inflation would reach 6.7% this year and 3.1% next year compared with previous forecasts of 6.4% and 2.8%. The forecast for GDP growth has been increased from 0.8% to 1.0% for this year and from 1.6% to 1.7% for 2024. The predicted rates of inflation contrast with the ECB’s latest survey, which shows that consumers are becoming more pessimistic about rising prices. High price increases are also likely to leave a lasting drag on household finances, dampening spending as households feel the squeeze.

The best ski goggles of 2023, reviewed by a ski expert – plus the best ski sunglasses

Telegraph

23-05-15 16:07


The best ski goggles for 2023 have been tested and evaluated by the Telegraph. Modern lens technologies have delivered improvements including enhanced depth perception, clarity and colour definition for cloudy, flat-light days and it is recommended for those seeking a more comprehensive, all-weather one-lens option to opt for photchromic lenses automatically adjusting to changing light conditions. Similarly, toric lenses with better profile matching to faces have been adopted by more brands. The Smith 4D Mag was named the best overall, due to its ChromaPop technology and the fact that it has a larger field of view due to the pronounced curve at the bottom and into the sides. The Dragon NFX2 won for best women’s ski goggles and the Oakley Flight Tracker for best men’s. Finally, the Scott Factor Pro Light Sensitive was named the best value goggles.

Former Winnipeg cab driver is a political adviser to a general in Sudan's deadly conflict

CBC

23-05-15 10:00


Yousif Ibrahim Ismaeil, 49, has caused concern in Winnipeg's Sudanese community after telling CBC he is serving as a political adviser to General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo in the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), amid the deadly feud for power in Sudan. Ismaeil, an ex-taxi driver and Canadian citizen who studied in Manitoba, says he is in Sudan because of his beliefs in justice, democracy, and long-standing friendships with the leaders within the RSF. The move has left members of the Sudanese community in Canada questioning Ismaeil's involvement with one of the warring factions in the month-long conflict, which has left hundreds dead, injured and displaced.

Advocacy or practical? Taiwan evaluating plan for Asia’s first 4-day work week

South China Morning Post

23-05-16 09:00


The Taiwanese government is considering implementing a three-day weekend following a proposal signed by over 5,000 citizens. Four government ministries are assessing the idea and will generate an assessment report by the end of June. Although it would be a first in Asia, Taiwan's export-driven economy, largely made up of producer firms, is expected to oppose the motion to pay workers for an extra day of the week. To produce the goods that drive Taiwan's technology industry around 30% of its US$800bn economy, producers typically operate seven days a week.

Record numbers not working due to ill health

BBC

23-05-16 07:40


The UK's Office for National Statistics has revealed that more than two and a half million people were not working due to health reasons, a record high. The ONS pointed to an increase in younger people experiencing mental health issues, as well as back pain and neck injuries, potentially due to the shift towards home working from the pandemic. Though the employment rate edged up to 75.9%, helped by self-employed and part-time workers, the number of people on employers' payrolls dropped for the first time in over two years due to a lack of recruitment bringing down the unemployment rate.

UK sees record number of people off work due to long-term sickness

Associated Press

23-05-16 11:28


The number of people in the UK who aren't able to work long-term due to illness has hit a record high, partly because of ongoing medical problems that are related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Office for National Statistics discovered that in the three months to March, 2.55 million people suffered from long-term sickness absence, up by almost 100,000 on the previous quarter. Among the causes were long Covid symptoms like post-viral fatigue, mental health issues, and neck and head problems due to home working. Pay growth levels are also down, and real wages excluding bonuses are 3.1% lower.

Could working from home cost you your job?

Telegraph

23-05-17 07:00


Companies are turning to more aggressive tactics to ensure their employees return to the office, as average office occupancy is still only at 34%, despite the lifting of most Covid restrictions. A leaked Labour document suggests flexible working, including working from home, will be the default setting for all workers if the party wins the next UK election. Companies such as JP Morgan are demanding their employees return to the office for five full days a week, and some are also monitoring senior staff to ensure they attend the office at least three times a week. A study has shown that workers’ resistance to returning to the office is significant, and only 80% comply when asked to return for three days or fewer.

How can I convince my employer to allow me to work remotely overseas?

Financial Times

23-05-17 10:19


A financial manager who has worked in financial markets for 35 years has approached Jonathan Black, director of the Careers Service at the University of Oxford, to ask how he could sell the idea of working remotely for the final few years of his tenure at his company. The manager, a man in his 50s, said he would work hard and be dynamic, but could do so with more creativity and drive from a fresh perspective overseas.

'A really very big deal for us': 3 Mi'kmaw First Nations excited about moderate livelihood fisheries

CBC

23-05-17 09:52


The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has renewed moderate livelihood agreements with three Mi'kmaw communities for the lobster fishery around Cape Breton Island. Eskasoni has joined Potlotek and We'koqma'q in the agreement, allowing up to 70 fishers to haul in traps and earn a living. The bands will share 4,600 traps in all fishing areas around the island, which is an increase in traps and fishing areas over previous years. The fishery will not harm lobster stocks, according to the DFO, because fishing licenses already exist and are not otherwise being used. The Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed Indigenous people's treaty right to earn a moderate living from fisheries.

Ex-Apple engineer charged with stealing self-driving car technology

The Independent

23-05-17 08:27


Weibao Wang, a former Apple engineer, has been charged with the theft of trade secrets relating to technology used for the design of self-driving cars. The US Justice Department alleges that he took large quantities from the company before resigning and moving to China. Wang allegedly waited some four months before telling Apple he was moving to "Company One", reportedly a US-based subsidiary of a Chinese firm, to work as a staff engineer on the development of autonomous vehicles. Once in China, he purchased a one-way ticket to Guangzhou. The former employee has not yet been arrested, as he has been living in China since 2018. Two other former Apple employees have been charged in separate cases with trade secret theft relating to China and car technology.

Stripes are more on the money than ever this season – here's how to wear them

Telegraph

23-05-17 13:00


Research has debunked the idea that horizontal stripes make people look wider, rather than taller and slimmer. Peter Thompson, a University of York perception expert and psychologist, conducted the research 15 years ago. Some sartorial 'truths' are based on preconceptions rather than actual facts he said, noting that some people still believe vertical stripes make wearers look taller and slimmer when it is what travels along the body that counts. He added that the emptiness of a house does not make it look bigger. Wide-set stripes are more fashion-friendly this year than ever, according to the Daily Telegraph, which also warned that wearers should be aware of variations in stripe placement when donning the pattern.

Allan Mustafa on People Just Do Nothing and the problem with ‘working class TV’

Telegraph

23-05-17 12:49


British actor, writer and musician Allan Mustafa, known to friends as Seapa, has spoken about his unusual path in the country’s comedy scene. Mustafa is part of People Just Do Nothing, a Bafta-winning cult British show about working-class characters running a pirate radio station. Mustafa, whose father was Kurdish-Iraqi and mother Czech, said he was an anomaly among a mostly middle-class scene and that his parents were keen he did not follow a path into a creative industry after they fled Saddam Hussein’s regime in the early 1980s. “Immigrant parents have taken a big risk to come here, they don’t want you taking another risk,” he said. Mustafa said he struggled academically and was fired from several jobs. The 35-year-old discovered his potential outlet in early 2000s music in the UK garage scene.
