Page values for "Submissions:2022/You can help us fix it: Learning new skills at the Philadelphia WikiSalon"

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
