Many Wikipedia articles lack images, even though great images are often available. This is a workshop for people who do not have much experience of editing, but would like to help.

What will you learn?

• What Wikipedia's image library, Wikimedia Commons is.
• How to organise images on Commons
• How to add images from Commons onto Wikipedia
• How to add captions to images
• When we have lots of relevant images in Commons how to show this in Wikipedia
• How to add image descriptions for blind people and those using text readers

We have the room unitil 6pm so some of us may stay on less formally and perhaps create an article or two or just answer your questions.
