Minimum

edit

The minimum target goal for participants in the editing workshop is the following:

  1. Register a Wikimedia account
  2. Add 1 sentence and 1 citation to any Wikipedia article
  3. Give one comment to a classmate's work
  4. Respond to any comments a classmate or anyone else directs to you

Doing this much will leave participants with insight into how Wikimedia projects work.

Contest

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and WP:WikiProject Computational Biology host a Wikipedia editing competition every year. They describe this year's competition at

If you add or change more than 3 sentences in one article then I recommend entering your edits. All you do to enter is sign your name and list the article you edited on their competition page.
