More about the programme is on the way. The first session will start at entry level, but will be looking at Commons in the round as well as the usual introduction to uploading; there will be hands-on work.

This looks fab - sorry I can't be there!
Can you feedback how it goes/slides/what was useful because I led my first training session last weekend and I was already getting into image questions I couldn't answer and it would be good to have a few more introductory resources.
Thanks!

Coming from the opposite end of the scale, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WereSpielChequers/image_adding is an exercise I've been building up and testing on newbies. It is based on some lists from Rich Farmbrough and some sessions that Fabian and I ran.

I think that word is "geocode", rather than genocide. But yes, if the word was genocide, then yes, that would be too genocidey.

Typo! But, also, yes lets not train newbies to add images of genocide :/
Anyway, lets head off a debate about how much genocide is too much...thanks Jonathan, that's handy :)

Katherine,
Once you start downplaying the significance of genocide, it's a slippery slope...

Geocodes, ah yes, probably guilty there.
I read through the thing twice and clicked various links before deciding I was going to have to ask what the connection was between Kinlochleven.jpg and genocide. And yes I agree that the whole thing is a bit too Geocodey and dry - if anyone fancies improving it dont worry about it being in userspace. Oh and trust me, if you get a newbie who is nervous about changing an article, asking them to choose which picture to use and getting them to transform articles with pictures is very empowering.
There's also pretty much zero risk of newbies getting edit conflicts or being bitten by patrollers.

Geo code or Glen Co(d)e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Glencoe which is just a beautiful walk away from Kinlochleven.
It would probably make more sense to transclude the content so that we can have different resources for different occasions and different trainers. But perhaps it might be worth developing a tag so that people know where to find similar resources.
I have started a page from which any such pages could usefully be linked: Wikipedia:WikiProject Teaching Resources/Image adding resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Teaching_Resources/Image...
All the best
Fabian aka Leutha

Things have not gone well for the Images Workshop over the past week, so I'm postponing it. Any further developments will be announced here. Charles
