Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? On the 21st & 28th September 2016, the University's Information Services team will run a Wikipedia research session. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given. Thereafter the editathon will focus on creating & improving the quality of articles about reproductive medicine.
Working together with Academic Support librarians & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles covering areas which could stand to be improved in the field of Reproductive Biomedicine.
Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of reproductive medicine!
Once you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.
or 
button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.
The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!
All are welcome to add names to the list which is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles in this important but somewhat neglected sector on the English Wikipedia.
You may find these useful if you want to learn further about editing:
