Plenary Sessions

An impression of the abstract concept of WikiLove.

• Plenary Session A: WikiLove: WikiLove, Civility and Good Faith, the importance of kindness within the Wikipedia Community, with User:Invertzoo. As Wikipedia expands into a mature encyclopedia, a consistent and genuine positive tone within constructive collaboration is more important than ever before. We can all learn to grow our own kindness.

• Plenary Session B: Wikipedia and Your Project: Educational and Content Partnerships, group discussion on Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors, Libraries and Museums cooperation, Wiki Workshops for different groups, and Wikimedia NYC and other outreach programs.
