What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website on earth (World Economic Forum), and the most-used encyclopedia ever. [7] (See the statistics page for more information.) A couple million people have written bits of it, but most of Wikipedia is written by tens of thousands of volunteers around the world. We start with a few edits, make mistakes, learn, and build up from there. You, can, too!

Our mission for today
Thanks for coming today and helping the #WikiIAML initiative and to participate in the #1Lib1Ref project of bringin more librarians to Wikipedia projects.

Today's mission: Add at least once reference to a Wikipedia article.

Did you achieve today's goal? Tell a wiki coach, and we can help check your edit(s) for you.

Let’s begin:

 * 1) Listen to the training or if you are editing from home or online head here for the basics overview. Head here for a simplified tutorial.
 * 2) Browse Editing Ideas below and choose a topic to edit (or if you already have one skip to the next step)
 * 3) Edit: in short - (1) click edit (2) add a sentence (3) provide a citation (4) repeat
 * 4) Ask for help: Don’t worry about perfection, the Wiki Coaches are here to help you.

Editing contribution types for new Wikipedia editors:
Is this your very first time? Try this:


 * Add a biographical sentence: Start with a name, a birthday, an occupation or title, what they famously did,  and (very importantly) a citation to verify your information from a credible source(s).

How to make a citation (bibliographical reference):
1) First, click on the pencil icon on the right to begin using "Visual Editor". Visual editor makes editing easier - like writing a school paper.

2) In Visual Editor, click on the area you want to add the citation. Then click cite. If you have a website as a source, add the website to the blank area.

If you do not have a website source, click manual and follow the prompts. Then click publish. If you have questions, ask a Wikimedia coach or go to Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources.

3) Then click publish.
