Welcome! (We can't say that loud/big enough!)

Hello, Semames! Thank you so much for coming along to the University of Edinburgh's ILW 2015 editathon and for your contributions. Now that you've learned how to edit, I hope that you'll continue helping make Wikipedia better, one edit at a time. Don't worry about being perfect: none of us are! Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

Hey, don't forget me!

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful:

History of Medicine editathon

[edit]

Hello again, Semames!
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you after last week but am just recovering from the flu. Thank you so much for taking part in the History of Medicine editathon. Just so you know, we uploaded in excess of 500 images to Wiki Commons, created 4 brand new articles on Wikipedia, and improved a further 56! For the event page, click here or to see the whole illustrated story of the event then you can click here: Storify: ILW editathon 2016
I hope that you enjoyed the day, and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've hopefully learned - or refreshed - 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.

How universities are teaching with Wikipedia
Editing Wikipedia brochure
Instructor Basics, How to use Wikipedia as a teaching tool
Illustrating Wikipedia brochure

If you're not feeling bold enough to write an (other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful, especially the first one which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.

The next up-and-coming Wikipedia event is this one run by Sara Thomas, Wikimedian in Residence at Museums and Galleries Scotland. Details here: Modern Scottish Women 2 - Art & Feminism

The University of Edinburgh are also looking into running an editathon for International Women’s Day on (or near) 8th March 2016 – details are still to be confirmed but will be updated on my project page here: Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh
