Wikipedia:Meetup/Columbus/Wikipedia Connection Workshops/Spring 2016/1

This is Wikipedia Connection's first workshop of the Spring 2016 semester at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The event is open for students, staff, and anyone else interested in coming together to discuss and edit Wikipedia. Each workshop usually begins with an introduction and short lesson about an aspect of Wikipedia (e.g. defining notability, what makes a source reliable, using images, etc.). Participants then start editing articles that interest them, and are encouraged to focus on the lesson matter. Experienced editors are available to answer questions, help make edits, and point editors in the right direction as needed.

Food and drink is provided, along with printed help materials and some goodies. As this is the first workshop of the semester, our topic for this week is signing up and learning how to use Wikipedia as an editor.
