1 00:00:01,959 --> 00:00:06,520 in this video we will continue our tour

2 00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:09,200 of Wikipedia we'll look at Wikipedia

3 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:11,759 articles and introduce links categories

4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,799 and talk pages though we will be

5 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:16,119 covering these in more depth later on

6 00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:18,199 too finally we'll look at how you can

7 00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:20,439 view Wikipedia in other

8 00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,400 languages in the previous video we

9 00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:25,800 searched for cat which brought us to

10 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,679 this page the Wikipedia article on cats

11 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,080 just like on the main page we have the

12 00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:32,399 menus on both sides and if you haven't

13 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,840 already we'll hide those

14 00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,920 now but there's another menu on an

15 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,760 article page to help you navigate

16 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,039 different sections based on the headings

17 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,200 under contents on the left side of the

18 00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:47,520 page we could click external links and

19 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,640 go right to the bottom of the article

20 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,120 and then click top to go back to the top

21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,559 this can be a good way to quickly

22 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,199 navigate a page but for now let's stay

23 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:57,480 at the top and look at how the article

24 00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:00,079 is

25 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,039 displayed on the right there's an info

26 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,800 box that summarizes some of the basic

27 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:06,479 information of the article such as

28 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,799 scientific names and in this example

29 00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:08,720 there's some photos of the article

30 00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:11,400 subject

31 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,920 to in the center we have the actual

32 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,080 article and this area at the top is a

33 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,520 summary sometimes these can be quite

34 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,320 short and just a paragraph while other

35 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,439 times they'll be larger like this one

36 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:25,400 the summary can also be called the lead

37 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,520 and is quite important as it's often

38 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,759 also used in search results for search

39 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,040 engines like Google as shown earlier

40 00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:35,920 scrolling down we can see blue text the

41 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,560 blue means there is a link you can click

42 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,920 on to visit another

43 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,840 article here the words Old English are

44 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,880 blue and clicking that would take me to

45 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,600 an article about Old

46 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,479 English but let's go back to

47 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,360 cats you can also see these small boxes

48 00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:54,640 with numbers these are the references or

49 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,840 citations to show where the information

50 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,039 in the article has come from placing

51 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,039 your mouse cursor over the reference

52 00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:02,920 should make this box pop up with

53 00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:05,560 additional information about the

54 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,160 reference here we can see a blue link

55 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,920 with an arrow next to it this means it

56 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,200 is a link that will take you outside of

57 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,360 Wikipedia to another website scrolling

58 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,680 down the page a bit more you can see

59 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,840 there are images clicking those will

60 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,640 bring up a larger version including some

61 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,720 copyright information in this example

62 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:27,200 the image is public domain and has no

63 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,840 copyright attached to it if we wanted

64 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,120 more information we could click this

65 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,720 link to go to w media Commons where the

66 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,920 image is hosted but for now we'll go

67 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,160 back to the article by clicking the X in

68 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:40,000 the top right

69 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,200 corner this is quite a long and detailed

70 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,360 article so let's click C or on the left

71 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,280 hand menu to go down further this

72 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,720 section has links to more related

73 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,360 Wikipedia articles and below that are

74 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,959 the references listed throughout the

75 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,560 article and there's quite a lot here

76 00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:00,440 some have blue links to websites or PDF

77 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,720 documents While others don't here you

78 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,720 can see there's no Blue Link so if we

79 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200 wanted to look at this reference we'd

80 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,200 need to check with the library for the

81 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,080 book using the title and author

82 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,560 information

83 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,000 provided below that there's external

84 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,879 links where you would find more

85 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,840 information about this subject outside

86 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:19,360 of

87 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,920 Wikipedia there's a template box listing

88 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,640 related articles on Wikipedia 2 although

89 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,120 this won't be on all

90 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:29,280 articles then at the very bottom there's

91 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,680 categories you can click these to see

92 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,120 other artic in the same category and

93 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,000 these are great if you're looking for

94 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,280 similar Wikipedia

95 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,159 articles back at the top you've now

96 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,879 looked at a Wikipedia article but

97 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:44,360 there's more to explore there's the edit

98 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:46,120 link to start editing the article but

99 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,720 we'll get more into that later and if

100 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,519 you have just signed up for an account

101 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,959 the edit link might not be visible

102 00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:53,959 straight away this will change after

103 00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:56,519 you've practiced editing and had your

104 00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:58,480 account for a week or so there's also

105 00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:00,840 the view history link that shows the

106 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,480 complete history of edit made to a

107 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Wikipedia article this can be used to

108 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,720 see or compare previous edits and we'll

109 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,519 look at this in more detail later too

110 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,319 back on the article we can tell we're

111 00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:15,639 looking at an article because it says

112 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,400 article here but next to that it says

113 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:20,799 talk let's click talk to visit the talk

114 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,520 page a place to discuss anything related

115 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:26,440 to this Wikipedia article every article

116 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,720 or page on Wikipedia has a talk page but

117 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,280 they won't all be as big or as active as

118 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,479 this one here we can see discussion on

119 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:36,199 proper grammar used in the article and

120 00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:38,360 another discussing other content anyone

121 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,320 can join in and start a discussion or

122 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,400 reply to one and we'll go into that more

123 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,120 later on finally there is one more part

124 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,919 of the Wikipedia article we'll look at

125 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,000 now and this is

126 00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:52,680 translations at the top of the article

127 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,960 it says this article is available in 262

128 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,720 languages you'll remember that Wikipedia

129 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,680 is available in over 300 languages so

130 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,520 that means not every Wikipedia has an AR

131 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,520 arle about cats if we click the language

132 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,639 link it opens a menu listing all of the

133 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,240 languages

134 00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,199 available we can search them or click

135 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,880 the ones we want I'll choose

136 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,919 French as you can see the article is

137 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400 similar but it's completely in French

138 00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:19,840 and is on the French

139 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,680 Wikipedia we can go back by clicking the

140 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,680 languages link again and choosing

141 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:31,360 English in this example the article

142 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,600 isn't available in other languages so

143 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,680 the languages link says add languages

144 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,400 instead and it will give you options to

145 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,520 create a translation something we'll

146 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,840 look at again near the end of this

147 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,800 course that completes a general tour of

148 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,479 Wikipedia and as mentioned we'll go into

149 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,039 more detail on some of these topics

150 00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:49,039 throughout the course
