Library Bite-Sized Webinar: How do I (responsibly) edit Wikipedia?

August 26, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

At some point in your education, you’ve probably heard that you should never use Wikipedia “because anyone can edit it.” But have you ever actually tried editing it yourself? This webinar will provide an introduction to Wikipedia’s editing tools and its dedicated community of editors, who voluntarily cultivate and maintain the free encyclopedia according to a set of five “pillars of Wikipedia.” Learn how and why you can—and should!—contribute to the world’s largest reference work.

This webinar is pre-recorded. To receive a captioned copy of the webinar to watch at your convenience, please register at the library events calendar and it will be sent to you at the time noted above.
