Title:

News On Wiki, Phase 2 complete

Theme:

Friday Lightning Talk Day

Type of session:

Lightning Talk

Abstract:

In this lightning talk, Mary Mark Ockerbloom and Doreva Belfiore will introduce the work of the Philadelphia WikiSalon (Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia), a Wikipedia Meetup that focuses on creating community while helping build Wiki skills among people of diverse interests and levels of expertise. We provide:

  • Alternating monthly format of demonstrations followed by practice review and reflection to maximize skill retention
  • Concise, no-frills format for presentations and demonstrations with an emphasis on building skills with easy-to-manage content blocks
  • Commitment to open access: everything uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, multiple demonstrations about US copyright and open access
  • Central repository for ongoing opportunities for editing in various projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons) in a variety of subject areas (sciences, art, history, craft) that dovetail with demonstrated skills
  • Guest speakers
  • Robust Q&A with topics of concern and interest to Wikipedia editors encompassing a wide range of expertise
  • Welcoming of all participants and celebration of community contributions
  • Crossover with WCNA, Art + Feminism and other related events
