What to expect
editNo Wikipedia editing experience is necessary. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you can get started by watching these great Beginner Training Videos or with this this training module. Friendly volunteers will be on hand to help answer your editing questions. Refreshments will be provided. Everyone is welcome.
We plan to offer Getting Started tutorials at 2:00pm, 3:00pm and 4:00pm and more if needed. And tutors will be available during the whole session from 2:00-5:00pm.
Please set up an account before the event if at all possible. Very few details are needed: a Username, password, and I'd recommend giving your email, if only to be reminded of your password when you forget it.
