UCD Library edit-a-thons: Exploring California food, wine and farming... and more:
Oct 18 - Nov. 2 - Nov. 15
November 15, 2013
10:00am-3:00pm, Shields Library
Want to work on articles that are read by thousands of people? Come learn how to edit Wikipedia! The first part of the session (from 10:00-11:00) will introduce the edit-a-thon and include a short class for new and beginning editors in how Wikipedia works and how to get started (experienced editors should feel free to just start editing). The next part (11:00-3:00) will be a hands-on workshop devoted to improving articles using UC Davis library resources, with a special focus on California food, wine and farming. Bring your Wikipedia questions and topics that you are interested in working on (you don't need to be an expert!). Feel free to come for any part of the session -- just the class, just the edit-a-thon, or drop in anytime during the event. Editors of the Daviswiki are also welcome!
