A Day Spent well. The Wikipedia Women Workshop which took place on November, 4th 2012 in Vidyalankar Institute of Technology (VIT), Wadala was indeed a success. The people who volunteered in organizing this workshop were Bishakha Datta, Moksh Juneja, Karthik Nadar, Pranav Curumsey, Pradeep Mohandas, Anshuman Fotedar, Aditi Juneja, Harriet Vidyasagar, Nikita Belavate, Netra Parikh, Noopur Raval, Netha Hussain. All discussions and planning done while organizing this workshop for women paid off. In all, 70+ women participants attended the workshop. The workshop started with a short introduction after which, wasting no time, the women participants moved on to learning how to edit Wikipedia which was though by the present on ground volunteers. The participants were were divided in groups and every group had to create a new article which wasn't already available on Wikipedia. In the process, women interacted with the volunteers, asked question regarding Wikipedia. Every group at least had added introduction to the new article. Having done with the basic editing, a general presentation on Wikipedia was given by some of the volunteers. This was followed by question and answers regarding the same. By this time, it was already 1.30pm, so the lunch was announced. After having lunch, the participants got back to their seats. Pretty much everybody stayed back post lunch. Moksh continued with teaching how to edit Wikipedia. This time it wasn't it in groups though. "References" and "Notability" were the main topics that were covered in this session. Anshuman and Karthik then proceeded with teaching photo uploads on Wikipedia. Quiz was conducted towards the end and Wikipedia-Tshirts were given as prizes for giving right answers. Karthik, then also showcased the winning images of Wiki Loves Momunents 2012 India. The long day came to an end with an overwhelming response and a call for organizing many such activities.
