Releasement of images from National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts
National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts
On May, the González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts in Valencia uploaded, under a free license, 25 images of artworks from its collection to Wikimedia Commons. Most of these pictures are related to Pinazo family. In 2016, the museum celebrated the anniversary of death of the Valencian painter Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench and because of that reason they hosted an edit-a-thon about that family, on December 2016; now they have contributed to improving the illustration of those articles.
Wikipedia courses at libraries
Two new Wikipedia courses took place in two libraries in Valladolid. On May 4, librarians from the network of public libraries of Castile and Leon attended an intensive course on Wikipedia at the public library of Valladolid: history, how to edit, rules and policies... planning in promoting the use of Wikipedia in their libraries. On the other hand, a four sessions course was organized at Reina Sofía Library, of the University of Valladolid. It was the 7th edition of this course and several professors and librarians of the university attended to know the Wikimedia projects, policies, how to edit, creating a new article and the use of Wikipedia as an educational tool.
