Wikipedia:Meetup/Bay Area WikiSalon, June 2016

We held the third Bay Area WikiSalon on June 29, 2016. After some snacks and informal conversation, we had a presentation and an activity:

Program

 * Report on Pride edit-a-thon at San Francisco Public Library, by editor Merrilee Proffitt:
 * What topics might we cover in a follow up?
 * Andrea Davis and Christina Moretta of the SFPL introduced a number of free online research resources you can access through SFPL (or other libraries) to help with Wikipedia editing (hint, it’s more than just books!)


 * [//www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTWAOndU_Ug YouTube video archive of presentation] (video cuts out at 18:46 for a couple of minutes)


 * Wikidojo: We started a Wikipedia article on the Ghost Town Royals, a children's baseball program in Oakland.
 * Are you curious how your peers approach writing a Wikipedia article? This exercise, pioneered by Wikipedians Nikola Kalchev and Vassia Atanassova in 2015 and conducted in many places around the world, helps us all—from first-time wiki users to veteran Wikipedians—share ideas, while building an article together.
 * We worked on the Ghost Town Royals article here: User:Peteforsyth demo/Wikidojo
 * Pete has begun taking some notes on it here: User:Peteforsyth/Wikidojo notes
