Wikipedia:WikiProject Awareness/Presentation outline

This is an outline for a potential presentation that could be done to increase awareness of Wikipedia to groups of people at a time. If this is widely used, a Powerpoint or similar presentation could be made on this. Please feel free to add to or tweak this outline, or discuss it on the talk page.


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia- that ANYONE can edit
 * You can go on right now to add content, fix mistakes, proofread, etc.
 * We have more than a million articles on a wide range of topics
 * Talk about basic policies: neutral point of view, verifiability, etc.
 * Address common concerns
 * Most vandalism is reverted within five minutes
 * We have the tools to keep the inmates from taking over the asylum
 * Talk very briefly about sysops?
 * We need more editors!
 * Especially liberal arts, obscure topics, etc.
 * Question and answer session

This is a work in progress! Feel free to add bullet points or topics that you feel could be addressed.
