 * Special requests: Need a training room and some skilled Wikipedians to assist.


 * Preferred room size: 20?


 * Have you presented on this topic previously? If yes, where/when?: I did a dry run of this at the Computers and Libraries Conference with about 10 participants. It was quite succcessful.


 * If you will be incorporating a slidedeck during your presentation, do you agree to upload it to Commons before your session, with a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, including suitable attribution in the slidedeck for any images used?: I have a slidedeck and reworking images might be hard but I can try!


 * Will you attend WikiConference North America if your submission is not accepted?: Yes
