Girl Geeks event edit
Thank you for being part of the Girl Geeks Wikipedia editing day on Sunday. I thought you might like a copy of the list we collected at the end of the day.
Things we learnt:
- How to link to specific sections of Wikipedia pages
- Learnt so much I'd never even thought about
- Useful place to publicly put what I've learnt academically, so it's not just in my head.
- Learnt how to share photos of kittens, and how to redirect.
- Learnt how to get inspiration for articles to start editing. Also playing around with templates.
- Always end up looking at something new on Wikipedia.
- Learnt about Lua, Wikimedia Commons and the community portal.
- Learnt about how Wikipedia handles original work (as opposed to copyright violations).
- Really quick and easy to sign up and to use the editing tools, and how to conduct yourself on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a common sense thing, rather than hard-and-fast rules.
- Wouldn't have looked at Wikipedia if there hadn't been a group of people to come together to work on it.
- Now know more about references and citations, what a reliable source is, etc.
I hope you continue to enjoy editing Wikipedia.
