Moksh, Thanks for the report. Do upload the VJTI photo on wiki - the article does not have a good one.

Dear All,
We were invited to have a workshop at Technovanza, VJTI festival.
The total session strength was 15 students. The students were very curious to know how the editing does take place. The session included
* Elaborate discussion on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars
* Editing the actual Wiki page. The selection was based on interest in the workshop
* Creating a new Wiki Page. Post explaining the modalities of creating the page the selection was based on interest in the workshop
Common Queries included * How does Wikipedia run? * Who manages and maintains the Wikipedia?
At the same time, students who attended the session were completely new editing, so they were very happy to know get a demonstration of editing an article. Also at the end of the session they surely promised to try their hand at editing on their favourite subjects.
Was also given a small memento with the photograph of VJTI college in it, thanking for the session.
Thank you for the opportunity! I would encourage everyone on the list to have these workshops, cause they are very enlightening for students who were just copy pasting content from Wikipedia!
Moksh Juneja
