From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Genealogy of Mechanicians. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

See the entry We Are Mechanicians in Applied Mechanics News.

[edit] Title

WikiProject on Genealogy of Mechanicians

[edit] Scope

[edit] Participants

•  ?

[edit] Structure

• Identify a person who fits the above description of a mechanician.
• Search the person in the Wikipedia.
• If an entry of the person exists in Wikipedia, simply add a section containing her advisors, and another section containing her students. Fill out information that you are sure about, and no need to be complete.
• If no entry of her exists in Wikipedia, you can search her advisor in Wikipedia.
• If an entry of her advisor exists, then add her name as a student in the entry of the advisor. Enclose her name within [[ ]], which automatically starts an entry of her.
• If you don't know her advisor, simply add her name in the following list of Founders, again enclosed within [[ ]].

When creating an article on a Mechanician, be sure to include the following information:

• Biography - Leave this blank or keep it short if you don't have time for it now.
• Master degree - Year, Place, Title of thesis, Advisor
• Doctoral degree - Year, Place, Title of thesis, Advisor
• Post-doctoral training - Year, Place, Research topics, Advisor
• Notable students

[edit] Tasks

1. The advisors of the following mechanicians are unknown. If you know the advisor of a person in the list, update the Wikipedia entry of this person, and replace her name by her advisor's name in the list. Please keep the list in the alphabetical order.

• Issac Newton
• William Prager
• Stephen Timoshenko

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
