Dear
Wikimedians,
Here is my a short report
of the Kolkata Wikipedia meet up & workshop for wikipedia projects that was held on 2011 February 12 at
Indian Institute of Foreign Trade(Kolkata Campus) Saltlake, EP Block, Sector
V,Kolkata,West Bengal.
The Meet up and workshop was
attended by more than 25 participants.
The workshop was divided into two
sessions. The first session was an introductory presentation about Wikipedia, and
wikiprojects. In the second session we introduced Wikipedia editing to the
participants.
The
participants asked many questions about wiki, Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia,
sister projects and so on. They also asked some queries regarding directorial
board, why pages are protected, policies, and so on. The participants are
introduced to wikipedia editing with wikimarkup in a simple way.
Kolkata
wiki community is planning to organize many more workshops in the near future.
