Submissions:2023/A year in the life of a new Wikipedian
WikiConference North America 2023 unfortunately could not accommodate this submission in its program this year.
Title:
- A year in the life of a new Wikipedian
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.
