TaPRA Wikipedia Workshop in Glasgow

Following up on the successful workshop for TaPRA members in February this event is being co-hosted by HATII at the University of Glasgow to provide a further training opportunity for new Wikipedians.

The day will be divided into two parts:

• 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

• 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.

This event is free and intended mainly for TaPRA members, others are also welcome on a first come first served basis.

Lunch and light refreshments will be provided.

Further details about this event can be found on the Wikimedia UK website.
