WikiConference North America 2023 unfortunately could not accommodate this submission in its program this year.

Title:

Editing seems too hard

Theme:

Community Initiatives, Equity / Inclusion / Community Health

Type of session:

Lightning talk

Abstract:

In 2013, I made my first edit on Wikipedia as a student participant in Wiki Education’s nascent student program. A couple months short of a decade later, I returned to editing but this time under very different circumstances as a Wikipedia Expert for the Wiki Education Foundation. In this talk, I’d like to share the observations and challenges I have encountered learning the ropes of Wikipedia in these parallel journeys as a Wikipedia Expert and a volunteer editor.
