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.
