Wikipedia Science Workshop

BioGrad

Wikipedia is the first port of call for many at the University and most of the general public when looking to get the basic information on almost any topic.  This means that it is incredibly important that the information available is as accurate as possible.  BioGrad has organised for New Zealand Wikipedian Mike Dickison (Twitter: @adzebill) to hold a Wikipedia Science Workshop where he will go over:
<OL>
<LI>The nuts and bolts of how Wikipedia works</LI>
<LI>Correcting and expanding articles</LI>
<LI>Referencing in articles</LI>
<LI>Adding photos to Commons and Wikipedia pages</LI>
<LI>Creating new articles</LI>
</OL>
This will allow you to make sure that your area of research or even an area of interest outside of academic pursuits is up to date and accurate.  So join us on August 22nd from 1pm - 5pm and help educate the world at large.
