Wikipedia talk:Meetups/UK/BFI editathon January 2015

Activity
The BFI did a big season of Chinese movies during 2014 — the program was called Electric Shadows. I was interested in this at the time and have started filling in some gaps - such as Dream Factory (film), which was Feng Xiaogang's first big hit. Andrew D. (talk) 00:14, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Meetups/UK! Thank you for coming here. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some tips that you might find helpful: But first please go to our class page and sign in with # ~
 * You can add links to other articles by putting them in double square brackets
 * You can add pictures from Wikimedia Commons by putting them in thumb for thumbnail|Left right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people
 * Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
 * You can add headings by putting them in ==double square equal signs== and ===subheadings are similar===
 * This then means that you can edit one section of an article while someone else edits another part of the same page.
 * To add a reference first check that is at the end of the article.
 * Then add your reference
 * If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then adding adds the famous citation needed. If you come back in a week or two and find no-one has referenced the information feel free to remove it.

 * Help:Wiki markup has everything from hieroglyphs to mathematical notation
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy the session and come back to Wikipedia again!
