The Irish and World War I in a nutshell:
|
Ever wondered how to get started editing Wikipedia? On Saturday 14th February an editathon will be held in the the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks from 13:00-16:30, when experienced editors will guide you through your first edits. One of our aims is to improve and expand articles relating to Ireland and the Irish during World War I.
This event is organised by Wikimedia Ireland Community, with Shannon and Rebecca as trainers.
All are welcome, no editing experience is necessary and the event is free.
It will take place in the Palatine Room, above Brambles Cafe.
Please set up an account before the event if at all possible. Very few details are needed: a Username, password, and we recommend giving your email, if only to be reminded of your password when you forget it. The short Wikipedia:Tutorial/Registration explains why this is a good idea.
If you like, you can also learn a little about editing ahead of time here: w:en:Wikipedia:Tutorial, or see Getting started on Wikipedia for more information
To participate you will need to bring along a laptop or tablet, WIFI will be provided.
