Hidden Gems Editathon
[edit]Hello again Gbeth21! It was great to meet you last week at the Hidden Gems Editathon, and I hope that you enjoyed the session. I also hope that it's sparked some ideas about how you could work further with Wikimedia.
Now that you've learned the basics, I do encourage you to stay logged in, and have another go at editing. If you don't want to write a new article straight away, then why not try a small edit or two first, add a link, or maybe a picture? The Community portal is a really good place to start. Remember that we learned how to edit in Visual Editor, but you may want to have a look at Wiki mark up for use on talk pages and other discussion pages.
Wiki is never finished - it's a constantly evolving entity. And there are a huge community of other editors out there who can help.
Here's some links that I hope you'll find useful:
- Really good guide to getting started
- Is your topic notable enough for an article?
- Be Bold!
- Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
- Learn from others
- How to write a great article
- A simplified manual of style
The project page for the Scottish Library and Information Council Wikimedia project can be found here, and there's further reading specifically for librarians here.
To keep up to date about Wikimedia events happening throughout Scotland, to learn more about ScotWiki projects, or to publicise your own ScotWiki event or project, join the ScotWiki Mailing List!
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon!

Wikimedia training for librarians
[edit]Hello again Gbeth21! Thanks for attending our Wikimedia training session for Librarians, and for being part of the first phase of the Scottish Library & Information Council's Wikimedia project. Our aim is to “Establish public libraries as quality content creators in the digital sphere, and to provide open access to freely usable content about Scottish culture, derived from our rich library collections", and it's great to have you on board.
