Brixton April Wikipedia Meetup
Details
If you would like to play a part in making knowledge accessible and to get together as a community, this meetup is for you. We are friendly and inclusive group of Wikipedia enthusiasts who gather every month to discuss and work together on various projects. This will be the sixteenth monthly meetup at Brixton Library open to all editors established, slightly confident and the very new.
This month we will focus on copy-editing and maintenance in the aim of improving article quality on the world’s largest online encyclopaedia.
Our main group activity of this session will be some sort of editing blitz - our challenge is to clean up as many pages as possible and potentially clear out an entire maintenance category! Alternatively, you can choose articles to improve by theme — we’ll guide you through how to do this.
Complete newcomers are very welcome to join! We can help you get you started in no time and guide you through your first edits on Wikipedia. For more experienced editors, we will discuss and tackle more advanced copy-editing tasks.
To make the most out of the session, you can explore Brixton Library’s materials at your disposal and access subscription-based databases (like the British Newspaper Archives) for free!
