Dear all,
I am writing to share some good news! After two years of brainstorming and planning, our instructional website in Arabic is out! This is yet another step for Wikimedia Israel in developing instructional tools.
We’re thrilled to introduce Wiki Warsha ويكي ورشة http://wikiwarsha.org/!
Wikiwarsha.org http://wikiwarsha.org/ is a multimedia instructional website designed to introduce Wikipedia to Arabic readers, to invite new editors to write and edit content on Arabic Wikipedia, to assist teachers in school activities, and instructors in editing workshops.
Warsha is the Arabic word for ‘workshop’, the website includes short instructional films, texts and images and is divided into 13 informative and instructional lessons:
-
Wikipedia homepage structure -
About Wikipedia articles -
Create account -
Sign in to a registered account -
Create a userpage -
Create a new article -
Edit an article -
Formatting the article -
Request edits approval on Arabic Wikipedia -
Adding image -
Adding internal and external links -
Adding references -
Adding categories
In addition to those lessons, the website contains informative sections about copyright issues, FAQs, good article criteria, and talk pages, all in order to facilitate understanding how Wikipedia communities function.
