Wikimedia Apps/Suggested edits/ru

Suggested edits are a feed to suggest things a user can do to edit the Wikimedia edits in the app. They will show an article and ask the user to add article (title) descriptions or image captions.

Об описаниях
Article descriptions summarize an article to help readers understand the subject at a glance. These are known in the Wikimedia community as Wikidata descriptions.

Tips for creating article descriptions
Article descriptions should ideally fit on one line, and be between two to twelve words long. They are not capitalized unless the first word is a proper noun, and do not normally begin with initial articles (a, an, the). Например:


 * painting by Leonardo da Vinci (title description for an article about the Mona Lisa)
 * Earth’s highest mountain (title description for an article about Mount Everest)

About image captions
Image captions describe an image to help readers understand the meaning and context of an image.

Tips for creating image captions
Image captions should be short descriptions of what the image shows. They are generally four to twelve words long. They can also contain information about the artist or creator of the image.

Remember to keep your captions neutral. Avoid making value judgements such as "beautiful", "good" or "ugly".

The difference between the image description and the image caption is that the description can have a lot of information about the file. If the image is a scan it can have details about the original photograph or artwork. It can have links. The image caption should ignore all this and just describe what it shows, not the information about the file.
