Session 1: Getting Started
This is my Wikipedia sandbox! It was created to participate in the Ohio Women on Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

Active Learning Classroom • Archer Library
Exploring media uploads.

About the Photo
This photo was uploaded to the sandbox using Insert + Images and Media.

Advanced editing provided opportunity to position the photo (left, right, middle) on the page.

Uploading Images
Interesting to note that I was unable to upload a copy of the digital slide used to market the event. Wikimedia commons was not able to verify the image.

When images are uploaded, they become part of Wikimedia Commons. You then have a media account. Returning to the sandbox requires a return to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia Edit-a-thon LibGuide
"We will be presenting a series of three workshops March 29th through March 31st held in Archer Library's active learning lab, and available on Zoom.  You are encouraged to bring a laptop or mobile device, these will be working sessions."

Session 1: My Sandbox
This section explores user sandboxes associated with Wikipedia accounts. It features using the visual editor to structuring articles using headings, creating external links, uploading photographs, and inserting citations.

What is the Visual Editor
This is a WYSIWYG - or what you see is what you get - editor. If you have ever created content, such as a discussion board post in Blackboard, it looks most likely looks familiar.

Visual Editor Menus
Use the editor to format page content. Moving from left to right you can:

To the right, it is possible to review Wikipedia help, explore the hamburger menu for extended options, and switch between the visual editor and source editing.

Inserting Images
There are several factors to take into consideration with process of including images. Of the utmost importance is that you have the rights to upload said photo or image.
