SUMMARY:Women in Red - a monthly workshop to add more biographies of women to Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our monthly Wikipedia Women in Red ‘edit-a-thon’. This event focuses primarily on improving the systematic bias on Wikipedia by adding more articles about notable women missing from the free and open online encyclopedia where only 19% of biographies are about women. \nThese are social and supportive workshops where you can meet like-minded colleagues\, learn a new digital skill and feel free to edit on any subject. The first hour is devoted to learning how to edit\, thereafter you are free to apply your new skills by researching and writing new content which you can publish by afternoon’s end. \n\n1:00pm–2:15 pm Intro\, say hello\, discuss work and crash course in Wikipedia\n2:15pm-2:30pm – Choosing the article to work on and short break.\n2:30pm-4:30pm – Research and EDIT!\n4:30pm-5pm – Publish\, event recap and close.\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for your new page to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nNo prior knowledge is required. You’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice related to notable women missing from Wikipedia. \nWe’ll be there to answer questions and provide support and chat from 1pm to 5pm\, so join us when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to (some people get VERY into writing their articles when they get started). \nOpen to all. Everyone is welcome. \nAs part of the university’s commitment to Athena SWAN\, the University’s Information Services team run this session as a monthly Wikipedia meetup/edit-a-thon to address the systemic bias on Wikipedia where only 19% of biographies are about notable women. \nMore details can be found on the Women in Red page. \nThese are informal drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing is beneficial. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates. (If you have not edited before then please come at the beginning of the session for a quick crash course). \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \nNB: Want to host a ‘Women in Red’ event local to your part of the university? Drop me an email: ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk \nPlease ensure you are using a laptop or desktop computer for this online workshop in order to take part.  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/3mEHWMR

SUMMARY:Women in Red - a monthly workshop to add more biographies of women to Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our monthly Wikipedia Women in Red ‘edit-a-thon’. This event focuses primarily on improving the systematic bias on Wikipedia by adding more articles about notable women missing from the free and open online encyclopedia where only 19% of biographies are about women. \nThese are social and supportive workshops where you can meet like-minded colleagues\, learn a new digital skill and feel free to edit on any subject. The first hour is devoted to learning how to edit\, thereafter you are free to apply your new skills by researching and writing new content which you can publish by afternoon’s end. \n\n1:00pm–2:15 pm Intro\, say hello\, discuss work and crash course in Wikipedia\n2:15pm-2:30pm – Choosing the article to work on and short break.\n2:30pm-4:30pm – Research and EDIT!\n4:30pm-5pm – Publish\, event recap and close.\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for your new page to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nNo prior knowledge is required. You?ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice related to notable women missing from Wikipedia. \nWe’ll be there to answer qs and provide support and chat 1pm to 5pm so join us when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to (some people get VERY into writing their articles when they get started). \nOpen to all. Everyone is welcome. \nAs part of the university’s commitment to Athena SWAN\, the University’s Information Services team run this session as a monthly Wikipedia meetup/edit-a-thon to address the systemic bias on Wikipedia where only 19% of biographies are about notable women. \nMore details can be found on the Women in Red page. \nThese are informal drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing is beneficial. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates. (If you have not edited before then please come at the beginning of the session for a quick crash course). \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \nNB: Want to host a ‘Women in Red’ event local to your part of the university?

SUMMARY:Teaching with Wikipedia: a practical 'how to' workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event will demo best practice from working with over ten course programmes at the University of Edinburgh over the last 4 years along with exemplars from other UK universities: https://open.ed.ac.uk/wikimedia-in-education/ \nYou will need to create a Wikipedia account in advance in order to take part. \nThis workshop will consist of 3 practical exercises: \n\nSetting up a dashboard page to manage a Wikipedia assignment.\nEditing practical (citations\, images\, editing in sandbox & live space).\nCreating a worklist of articles to create & edit.\n\nDemystifying the process behind such assignments\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how assignments can be conducted in their own field. Too often Wikipedia is framed as something to be avoided\, to be “consumed at your peril”. At the University of Edinburgh we flip this on its head\, and see Wikipedia as learning technology\, reimagining it away from something passively consumed to something our staff and students can positively contribute to\, to improve global understanding on the most public of digital platforms as active engaged digital citizens\, and gain a lot from as a teaching & learning experience as a result. \nIn a recent survey 97% of instructors have said they would teach with Wikipedia again while Wiki Education assignments have also been shown to improve student writing and the learning & teaching within the curriculum.  Importantly\, students are motivated to communicate their scholarship in a real-world application of teaching & learning for an audience of not just one\, their tutor\, but a worldwide audience of millions. Sharing knowledge\, building understanding. For the common good. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/3BQNpWp

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wikipedia's sister project: Wikisource - the Free Digital Library
DESCRIPTION:Safeguarding digital heritage and ‘the democracy of reading’ (Smith in Shaffi\, 2015) has never been more important.\nIn this session we will introduce you to Wikisource: Wikimedia’s free library of openly-licensed source texts. \n“Libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read\, freedom of ideas\, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university)\, about entertainment\, about making safe spaces\, and about access to information.” (Neil Gaiman\, 2013) \nIn this session we will explain: \n\nHow Wikisource adds value to the work of researchers\, librarians & archivists.\nThe crucial role Wikisource plays in raising the visibility\, accessibility & appreciation of out-of-copyright texts & their authors.\nHow Wikisource links to its sister projects: Wikipedia\, Wikicommons and Wikidata.\nHow everyone can involve people around the world in having authentic contact with the past through Wikisource.\n\n“Quotations or images from centuries ago can still touch or inspire\, and as readers share this reaction online\, the interested audience grows. The Wikimedia projects make it easy for people to enjoy and share out-of-copyright text\, creating and satisfying a modern curiosity about past authors.”(Martin Poulter\, 2015) \nWhat will the session include? \n\nAn introduction to what Wikisource is and how you can engage with it.\nA short practical activity where you will learn how to navigate Wikisource and proofread a page of text.\nAn example of how an out-of-copyright/openly-licensed PhD thesis has been transcibed to Wikisource so the text is now 100% searchable\, quality-checked and linked to from Wikipedia just 1 click away.\n\nBasic knowledge of using the internet and some understanding of HTML markup would be beneficial to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \nIn addition\, please have a think if there are copyright-free source texts you would like to see transcribed to Wikisource. \nPlease also create an account on Wikisource before arriving. If you have ever edited Wikipedia before\, you can use the same login details. \nReferences \nFlood\, Alison (2016). “Joanna Trollope: ‘UK cannot afford to close one single public library’”. \nShaffi\, Sarah (2015).“Smith warns library closures threat to ‘democracy of reading’ | The Bookseller” \nGaiman\, Neil (2013). “Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries\, reading and daydreaming”. \nPoulter\, Martin (2015).“The Shiver: communion with the past in a digital age | Wikimedia UK Blog”.\n\n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/38M5cRQ

SUMMARY:Witches\, maps\, and linked open data with Wikidata\, Wikipedia's sister project
DESCRIPTION:Wikidata – “the source for open structured data on the web and for facts within Wikipedia.” (Wallis\, 2014) \nWikidata is a free and open data repository of the world’s knowledge that anyone can read & edit. Wikidata’s linked database acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects. It differs from Wikipedia in that it is completely language independent and its structured data can be read and edited by both humans and machines alike. \nUsing Wikidata\, information on Wikipedia can be queried & visualised as never before. The sheer versatility of how this data can be used is only just beginning to be understood & explored: visualising maps of accused witches; genes and their associated proteins; library and museum collections; scholarly papers and citations; and much much more. The possibilities are endless with linked open data! \nDid You Know: The answers provided by Google’s ‘Knowledge Graph’ panels were powered by its own structured data repository\, Freebase\, until Google decided to wind down Freebase in 2015 in favour of migrating their data to Wikidata & supporting Wikidata instead. \nIn this session we will explain why Wikidata is so special\, why its users are so excited by the possibilities it offers\, why it may overtake Wikipedia in years to come as the project to watch and how it is quietly on course to change the world. \nWhat will the session include? \n\nA practical activity where you will learn the ‘nuts & bolts’ of how to use and edit Wikidata\, and help shape the future of open knowledge!\nA showcase selection of the most exciting applications and visualisations that have already been built on Wikidata including Histropedia and the Map of Accused Witches project.\n\nHistropedia is a website that visualises different events in the form of a timeline\, usually using a category from Wikipedia or a live query on Wikidata. The website is open for anyone to use\, edit\, expand or even reuse its source codes. It’s developers strongly believe in the power of data visualisation when combined with free knowledge and open data. The mission is to discover new and interactive ways to explore ‘the sum of all human knowledge”. \nWho should attend? \nAbsolutely anyone can use Wikidata for something\, so people of all disciplines and walks of life are encouraged to attend this session. Basic knowledge of using the internet will be needed to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \nAnyone interested in open knowledge\, academic research\, application development or data visualisation should come away buzzing with exciting new ideas! \nPlease also create a Wikidata account ahead of the event. If you have a Wikipedia account you can use the same login details. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/3DN4hPD

SUMMARY:Teaching with Wikipedia: a practical 'how to' workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event will demo best practice from working with over ten course programmes at the University of Edinburgh over the last 4 years along with exemplars from other UK universities: https://open.ed.ac.uk/wikimedia-in-education/ \nYou will need to create a Wikipedia account in advance in order to take part. \nThis workshop will consist of 3 practical exercises: \n\nSetting up a dashboard page to manage a Wikipedia assignment.\nEditing practical (citations\, images\, editing in sandbox & live space).\nCreating a worklist of articles to create & edit.\n\nDemystifying the process behind such assignments\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how assignments can be conducted in their own field. Too often Wikipedia is framed as something to be avoided\, to be “consumed at your peril”. At the University of Edinburgh we flip this on its head\, and see Wikipedia as learning technology\, reimagining it away from something passively consumed to something our staff and students can positively contribute to\, to improve global understanding on the most public of digital platforms as active engaged digital citizens\, and gain a lot from as a teaching & learning experience as a result. \nIn a recent survey 97% of instructors have said they would teach with Wikipedia again while Wiki Education assignments have also been shown to improve student writing and the learning & teaching within the curriculum.  Importantly\, students are motivated to communicate their scholarship in a real-world application of teaching & learning for an audience of not just one\, their tutor\, but a worldwide audience of millions. Sharing knowledge\, building understanding. For the common good. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/3tjMEC2

SUMMARY:Women in Red - a monthly workshop to add more biographies of women to Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our monthly Wikipedia Women in Red ‘edit-a-thon’. This event focuses primarily on improving the systematic bias on Wikipedia by adding more articles about notable women missing from the free and open online encyclopedia where only 19% of biographies are about women. \nThese are social and supportive workshops where you can meet like-minded colleagues\, learn a new digital skill and feel free to edit on any subject. The first hour is devoted to learning how to edit\, thereafter you are free to apply your new skills by researching and writing new content which you can publish by afternoon’s end. \n\n1:00pm–2:15 pm Intro\, say hello\, discuss work and crash course in Wikipedia\n2:15pm-2:30pm – Choosing the article to work on and short break.\n2:30pm-4:30pm – Research and EDIT!\n4:30pm-5pm – Publish\, event recap and close.\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for your new page to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nNo prior knowledge is required. You?ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice related to notable women missing from Wikipedia. \nWe’ll be there to answer qs and provide support and chat 1pm to 5pm so join us when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to (some people get VERY into writing their articles when they get started). \nOpen to all. Everyone is welcome. \nAs part of the university’s commitment to Athena SWAN\, the University’s Information Services team run this session as a monthly Wikipedia meetup/edit-a-thon to address the systemic bias on Wikipedia where only 19% of biographies are about notable women. \nMore details can be found on the Women in Red page. \nThese are informal drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing is beneficial. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates. (If you have not edited before then please come at the beginning of the session for a quick crash course). \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \nNB: Want to host a ‘Women in Red’ event local to your part of the university? Drop me an email: ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk \nPlease ensure you are using a laptop or desktop computer for this online workshop in order to take part.  \nBookings via MyEd: https://edin.ac/3BCCHCG
