New Participatory Project: Help Us Tidy Up the TobaccoWiki "People" Database

Share this

We can use your help cleaning up Tobaccowiki's database of people involved with the tobacco industry. Many of the descriptions in the database are currently in fragmented sentences. For example, the entry for Mike Malik says, "(Manager, Direct Communications, Philip Morris c. 1992-95): Worked with web pages, Internet presence" We would rather it say "Mike Malik was Manager of Direct Communications at Philip Morris circa 1992-1995, and worked with Web pages and Internet presence." You don't need to add any information to the descriptions in the database; we just want to make sure the descriptions that already exist are in whole sentences, and correct any punctuation or spelling errors. You can work on any part of the list, and do as much or as little as you want. To get started, go to the Tobacco documents biographies page, click on any letter of the alphabet and start editing any of the entries in the list that need cleanup. If this is your first time editing on SourceWatch, you can register here, and learn more about adding information to the site here, here and here. Have fun, and thanks for your help!
