How do I prepare?

Sign up for the event via Eventbrite
CREATE A WIKIPEDIA ACCOUNT (if you don't already have one)

If you like, you can also learn a little about editing ahead of time here: w:en:Wikipedia:Tutorial, or see Getting started on Wikipedia for more information

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

There are 19 workstations in the room and Eduroam wifi is freely available for participants who prefer to bring their own laptop.

Attendees

Agenda

The day will be divided into two parts:

PART 1 (10am - 12:30pm): An introductory session about Wikipedia and sharing knowledge on the Internet. This will be followed by a practical session of Basic Wikipedia training.

Lunch break

PART 2 (1pm - 4pm): An exploration of ways to contribute to Wikimedia other than by writing encyclopedia articles (e.g. sharing images; rendering structure data in visual form; giving research a suitable license). This part of the workshop includes a Q&A and more hands‐on Wikipedia editing, which will essentially lead into an editathon of pages relevant to the participants.

Trainers

Toni Sant - lead trainer + Wikipedia user page
Ally Crockford + Wikipedia user page

Outcome

Articles created

Articles improved

Future opportunities

Contact was made with Laura Molloy at HATII who was interested in the possibility of future WMUK collaborations and events.
