About the event
Following a meeting called by National Library of Scotland between various members of the ScotWiki community with reference to further working with Wikimedia, and in particular, Wikidata, it was decided to hold a small workshop later in 2019 on uploading images to Wikimedia Commons & data to Wikidata. Our intention is to use this workshop:


 * as a preparatory session for the further upload of material by the National LIbrary
 * to introduce other partners to data and image donation to the Commons
 * to document the session in order that the process and learning can be shared with other partners
 * to introduce participants to Pattypan.


 * How do I prepare?
 * Create a Wikipedia/Wikimedia account
 * Bring a laptop (wi-fi will be provided)
 * Learn about editing Wikipedia: Tutorial, or Getting started on Wikipedia for more information
 * Learn about illustrating Wikipedia: Brochure here
 * Learn about the Pattypan uploader: commons:Pattypan
 * Bring a small collection of images, which can be uploaded under a wiki-compatible license (CC-BY-SA or less restrictive), and any data for import into Wikidata (CC0)
 * potential NLS images
 * Learn about data donation to Wikidata: Wikidata:Dataset Imports
 * Learn about how to donate data to Wikidata: Wikidata:Data Import Guide
 * Sign in to the event (for tracking of progress) on the outreach dashboard here.
