Agenda

edit

We are looking to recruit university students to join Wikipedia as editors. We will be handing out leaflets (made by User:Mono), and speaking to people around campus in the early to late afternoon on the 16th. This will also involve speaking to prospective Wikipedia Society members about why they should form a Wikipedia Society on campus and what it means to be a Wikipedia editor.

The 17th is a more informal event with users looking to support the Imperial College Wikipedia Society in their bid to be officially recognised by Imperial College. This will mostly involve one-on-one interaction with new editors from Imperial College and helping them in their new Wikipedia journey.

Remember, you don't need to sign up for both of the days, or even all of either day. Editors looking to be involved will be emailed before the event with contact details and relevant information. (And don't worry, we're updating the booklet!) As ever, we are hoping that everyone wears a Wikipedia t-shirt so if you don't have one already, please let us know your size and we will endeavour to bring one for you.
