Dear All,
We were invited to have a workshop at Technovanza, VJTIhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VJTIfestival.
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, Thanks for the report. Do upload the VJTI photo on wiki - the article does not have a good one.
