I edit Wikipedia
On January 22nd, we kicked off the campaign “I edit Wikipedia” until February 21st. The goal of this campaign is to introduce new people to the Edit button, and the fact that anyone could edit articles. We had the opportunity to have new editors that appreciated and enjoyed the process of editing articles. This time we were able to have 223 total edits from 26 editors that contributed to the “I edit Wikipedia” campaign. At the very beginning, we held an online training session to train the participants how to edit Wikipedia. Everyone had the possibility to practice editing by choosing a topic. In the meantime they were able to ask questions and discuss as a group in order to ease their editing process.
