Wikiediting Workshop Trainers from Wikimedia UK will give an overview of Wikipedia editing and help attendees. We are particularly hoping to add more information on some of the women featured in Women from Hackney’s History Volumes 1 and 2, but participants will be able to focus on their areas of interest. Please bring a laptop with you if possible. We hope this will be the start of an ongoing project. Further guidance will be shared with people who register. |
