Wikipedia & knowledge activism workshop
Hello again ! It was great to meet you last week, and I hope that you enjoyed the session.

Now that you've learned the basics, I hope that you'll keep on editing Wikipedia! I wanted to drop by and offer some links that might help you do just that.

The purple booklet attached to this message is a good how-to guide, but if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Wiki is never finished - it's a constantly evolving entity. And there are a huge community of other editors out there who can help.

Here's some links that I hope you'll find useful:


 * Really good guide to getting started
 * Is your topic notable enough for an article?
 * Be Bold!
 * Learn from others
 * How to write a great article
 * A simplified manual of style
 * How to use talk pages

To start a new article you can use your sandbox, or the Drafts function. You'll only be able to create new articles once your account is at least 4 days old, and you've made at least 10 edits in the main encyclopedia.

You can find out more about what's happening with Wikimedia in Scotland on the WMUK site here.

To keep up to date about Wikimedia events happening throughout Scotland, to learn more about ScotWiki projects, or to publicise your own ScotWiki event or project, join the ScotWiki Mailing List!

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon! Sara Thomas (WMUK) (talk) 12:21, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there!
Hi there!

Sara Thomas here, Programme Manager at Wikimedia UK. I was looking back on the series of events that we did with Protests & Suffragettes / Women's History Scotland over the last few years, and noticed a few editors who had done a bit before, or had started editing at the events and done a bit of editing after them, of which you're one! I just wanted to reach out and say hi, and see if there was any support I could offer you about doing more editing, if there were any questions you had, or if you had any thoughts about Wiki editing in general.

Also wanted to let you know about the ScotWiki mailing list, if you're not already signed up to it - it's a low-traffic email list pertaining to all things happening in Scotland regarding Wiki.

Please do feel free to reach out any time - I'm reachable on sara.thomas@wikimedia.org.uk

All the best, and I hope you're having a good summer! Sara Sara Thomas (WMUK) (talk) 16:23, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
