Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Staff edit-a-thon 1

This Wikipedia page is for the first staff lunch-time Wikipedia edit-a-thon at the Wikimedia Foundation.

Want to learn more about how the websites you support work? Want to officially call yourself a proud Wikipedia editor? Have cool photos that you want to share on Commons for the world to use?

It'll be a great chance for you to learn how to edit Wikipedia in a casual environment with support from people you know and trust. Feel free to bring friends.


 * When: August 29, 2012 - Wednesday, 12pm-1:30
 * Where: 6th Floor Collab
 * Who: Staff and friends who have editing experience of all levels (or none at all!).
 * What do I bring?: Your lunch and a laptop

We will be using non-staff accounts for these edits. So if you don't have one, we encourage you to create a Wikipedia account today that will serve as your personal account.
