Ever wondered who writes Wikipedia? It could be you.
Join us for a relaxed, hands-on session where you’ll learn how Wikipedia works, why it matters, and how you can start editing it yourself. Whether you're into history, pop culture, science, or social issues, there’s a place for your voice.
In this session, you’ll:
- Explore how Wikipedia is built and why it’s so influential
- Learn how to spot good info and improve articles
- Make your first live edit with friendly support
No pressure, no experience needed, just curiosity and a desire to learn about Wikipedia.
Come along, meet other students, and help make knowledge more open and inclusive.
Hosted by Jack Flaherty, Student Representative for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS)
