Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

Session 2

Added to the Kilkerran Castle article on 17 February. Turned out to be the wrong Kilkerran Castle, but you'd have to check the geolocation closely to spot that

Photo removed: Edit summary, Photo is of Bush Hill Gardens in EN2, not Winchmore Hill which is N21

Session 3

Session 4

Brief overview of what we've done in weeks 1-3
Wikipedia:Training/For students The four modules should take about one hour to complete. We might look at a few today; please try the others at home.

User:Tony1/How to improve your writing Plenty of great advice from a professional editor.
Redundancy exercises We will try a few.
Spot the ambiguity Some are ambiguous, some are not - we will try a few.
Advanced editing exercises We will try a few.
