Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikicurious!
[edit]
We're delighted that you've decided to join us for Wikicurious: Rooted in Oakland on Thursday, November 12. Whether you've never edited Wikipedia before or are simply curious about how it works, you're in exactly the right place. This is a beginner-friendly event, and no previous editing experience is needed.
A few things to know about the event:
- When: Thursday, November 12, 5:30–8:30 p.m.
- Where: Bay Rising Movement Hub, 570 14th St., Suite 5, Oakland. View map
- What we'll do: Meet fellow participants, learn the basics of editing Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, and work together on articles about Oakland's history and culture. There will be an introductory training session followed by a collaborative edit-a-thon and a chance to share what we've accomplished.
- What to bring: A laptop is recommended for editing, although you can participate using your phone.
- Food: Light dinner, snacks, and beverages will be provided.
You don't need to prepare anything in advance. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore!
