Themes

University web and communications staff may wish to improve the article about academics in their institutions (or create new ones where they do not exist) and need to be aware of wikipedia editing and policies on notability (academics), neutral point of view, copyright violation, biographies of living persons, conflict of interest and paid editing. The event will include basic Wikipedia training (it's really easy), and then help participants to examine relevant policies.

Academics with publications will often have ORCID identifies which can be added see Wikipedia:ORCID
