Wikipedia is the world’s go-to source of information but not everything is online. Far
from it!
50-100 words+ is all we need to publish NEW pages as long as you #CiteWhatYouWrite
Join us for a social and supportive afternoon and learn a new FUN and important 21st
century digital research skill where you can do something amazing that has a lasting
published impact by creating and improving Wikipedia pages about:
* Women and Scottish literature,
* Robert Burns,
* Scottish poetry,
* Scottish traditional dance, music, dress and more!
* Even sharing just a (more) appetising image of a Burns Supper
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper> helps improve the information available
online.
More details and suggested pages to create and improve are available on our event
page<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh/Eve…ht>.
I'll bring some tea, coffee, victoria sponge cake and carrot cake (and possibly some
Irn Bru, Tunnocks and Haggis crisps) to keep your editing efforts fuelled and keep the
Ceilidh spirit going 🙂.
Slàinte!
