Learn to Edit Wikipedia - Social Distancing Edition
Join us for a fully remote Wikipedia editing training session. Learn about Wikipedia's policies and the basics of editing.
This workshop will take place on Zoom. Attendees will receive a dedicated link to Zoom prior to the workshop. If you don't already have a Wikipedia username, please create one before proceeding to Zoom.
This workshop is presented by Wikimedia DC, the DC region's official Wikipedia affiliate.
Wikimedia DC will continue to offer remote workshops over the course of the next few weeks. Like our regular in-person events, these may be themed or presented in conjunction with area museums, agencies, institutions, and organizations.
Please contact us if you are interested in hosting a remote training session for your staff or constituents.
