About the event
Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? On the 21st & 28th September 2016, the University's Information Services team will run a Wikipedia research session. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given. Thereafter the editathon will focus on creating & improving the quality of articles about reproductive medicine.

Working together with Academic Support librarians & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles covering areas which could stand to be improved in the field of Reproductive Biomedicine.

Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of reproductive medicine!

 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.
