My Wikipedia Experience
[edit].jpg)
My introduction to editing and writing in Wikipedia has been during the Editathon at the University of Edinburgh in February 2015. We are wearing distinctive t-shirts based on the Rosie the Riveter image available from Wikimedia commons.
This event was part of the University's Innovative Learning Week.
I returned a year later to finish my training (a slow learner) and participate in the 2016 Innovative Learning Week
