Following on from Wikipedia Editing Workshops delivered in February at the V&A Museum and March at the University of Glasgow, Wikimedia UK is supporting the Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) with another workshop at its annual conference, which will take place at Royal Holloway, University of London: 3-5 September 2014.

This TaPRA Wikipedia Editing Workshop will take place on Thursday 4 September 2014 in PC Lab IN005 and is open only to registered conference delegates. There's limited seating for 25 participants, so sign-up is essential to ensure we're not disappointing people who simply show up to a full lab.

Joining instructions

• TaPRA Conference delegates need to sign-up for the workshop here.

• Anyone who doesn't already have a Wikipedia account will also need to signup for one here.

• The workshop will take place in a Royal Holloway computer lab and PCs will be provided for 25 participants. You're welcome to bring your laptop, if your prefer. Free wifi will be provided to all TaPRA conference delegates.
