|theme=Friday Lightning Talk Day
|type=Lightning Talk
|abstract=In this lightning talk, Mary Mark Ockerbloom and Doreva Belfiore will introduce the work of the Philadelphia WikiSalon ([[:wikipedia:en:Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia|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
