Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Queens College Wikipedia Workshop 2017

"I never let my students use Wikipedia!"

Sound familiar?

Writing at Queens invites you to participate in its upcoming workshop on Wikipedia. In this workshop, participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at how Wikipedia entries are created, edited, and debated, and how these practices can be used to reinforce responsible research practices. Join us and learn how you--and your students-- can use Wikipedia effectively and responsibly.
