Hi all,
I want to remind everyone, after Wikimania, that I published an initial
draft of an Editathon Training for the Programs and Events Dashboard, and
really need feedback on it's content.
Feedback instructions are at:

Hi Emily,
In my experience, it’s important to stress that the students choose user names that are gender and age neutral – it helps to reduce harassment online. It’s also a useful opportunity to talk about privacy and safety online … it’s amazing how many students try to use their street addresses or other identifying information in their user names if they don’t understand the risks.
Sincerely, Mylee

Dear GLAM librarians,
I’m coordinating a Wikipedia-editing workshop with a group of middle-school students in a girls’ math camp. I’ve never worked with an audience of this age and I’d love to draw on your experience and knowledge.
My main concern: What do I need to know or consider when it comes to participants’ setting up user profiles? Do we need to (or should we) get parental consent for the campers to set up accounts? If so, what kind of assurances should we convey to parents to assuage any concerns they might have?
Are there other considerations or best practices I should be thinking about?
Thanks,
Emily

Hi All,
I am hoping to add an Editing Events organizer training to the Programs and
Events Dashboard in the coming months. I know there is a lot of
documentation for editathons out there, including but not limited to what I
have listed at:
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Sharing_Knowledge#Editathons .
What is your favorite piece of documentation (any language) for new
Editathon runners?
Cheers,
Alex

This is a great way to informally share your work with other

invited to attend!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email or the Telegram group

Hi GLAM-Wiki leaders and event runners,
I get a lot of requests for advice and support designing edit-a-thons. I
also hear a lot of advice from program leaders, that I know other program
leaders do not know about.
Moreover, since more and more campaigns and activities are being run in the
Programs and Events Dashboard, I wanted to make sure we had advice brought
together in one place accessible and translatable for the dashboard.
Hence, I am happy to announce a very first, preliminary draft of an
"Editathon runner" training designed for the Programs and Events dashboard
training modules:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Training_modules/Editathons/First_Draft
I need your help: this draft, is a very early draft. Please review it to
make sure that it reflects that practices you would expect of edit-a-thon
runners in your context! More instructions for feedback are on the page,
but I welcome feedback here as well or at Wikimania.
Also, a special thanks to everyone who share their advice in the the
earlier threads, especially Kerry Raymond who articulated a number of
details that I wouldn't have included by default in the training.
Cheers,
Alex
