Maastricht University, 2015-05-06. Explaining the principles of Wikipedia for students with User:Taketa (left) and User:Romaine (right)

Greetings.
My name is Dick Bos. I'm from the Netherlands.

I work on the English and Dutch Wikipedia, (mostly) on the English and Dutch Wikisource, on Wikimedia Commons and on Wikidata.

The WikiJournals[edit | edit source]

Thomas Shafee and Andrew Leung gave introductions on "Wikipedia-integrated academic journals" at 2021:Unconference/Wikipedia and academic journals from the perspectives of what you need to know about the Journals as an academic and as a Wikipedian.

The four journals are now on wikiversity: wikiversity:WikiJournal_User_Group, but there is a proposal to create a separate wiki for the Journals: m:WikiJournal

Speaker(s)
  • Ruthven
  • Sam Wilson
  • Natalia Rodriguez

( leave a message at Building 1, Floor 1, Table T - 9: WMF A )

Intro by Ruthven

Demonstration by Sam of:

  • Tesseract vs. Google OCR, each with their own specific quality.
  • Recently a new button was made and deployed in Wikisource in all languages. (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
  • Advanced options with possibility to use language specificity, while extracting text from an image hosted on a Wikimedia server, with direct access available at https://ocr.wmcloud.org/ (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
  • Especially the Tesseract options, about the location and organization of the text in the page, are interesting
  • There are also options for rectangular areas / tables etc. (newspapers!)

Natalia tells about Community Tech projects concerning Wikisource (YouTube now a forbidden area for the spam filter)
