SUMMARY:Processions: a Wikipedia editathon celebrating 100 years of votes for women
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the lives & contributions of the suffragettes and all the incredible women missing from Wikipedia! This event is part of 2018’s celebration of one hundred years since the Representation of the People Act (1918)came into force and women were finally given the right to vote.\n \nThis event for Processions 2018 at the University of Edinburgh’s Main Library is a chance to learn about & celebrate the role notable women have played in the campaign for Votes for Women through researching\, writing & illustrating Wikipedia articles about their lives\, their contributions\, the hitsory of marches and of banner-making. \nWikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world and the first point of information for many so surfacing knowledge there can make a huge impact. Yet\, as of April 2018\, only about 17.56% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies are about women. Not impressed? \n\n\nJoin us this for Processions 2018 as we help make Wikipedia better!\n\n\nThe event is open to the public. No prior knowledge is required. You’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Participants will be supported to develop articles of their choice. \nNB: Please bring a laptop along to the event or email me at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk if you require to borrow one for the event. \nProgramme for Thursday 8 June\n\n\n12pm – 1pm: Welcome and crash course in Wikipedia editing.\n1pm – 7pm: EDIT! (Drop in when you can and stay as long as you want to/need to – Warning: Wikipedia editing is highly addictive)\n7pm – 7:45pm:Publishing the article if not already done so.\n7:45pm – Close\n\nThen you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google’s top ten results! \nHave a look at the event page to see if there are pages you would like to help edit/create and if you fancy learning more about Wikipedia ahead of time then you can view the Wiki Basics site. \nBookings via Eventbrite: https://edin.ac/2JZdveQ \nHeader Image: Processions Banner created by Ewan McAndrew

SUMMARY:Digital Day of Ideas - Wikipedia and Wikidata: the sum of all knowledge
DESCRIPTION:The Digital Day of Ideas event is an annual showcase and networking event for digital scholarship across the University\, featuring workshops\, seminars and invited speakers from the wider Digital Arts\, Humanities and Social Sciences community. \nAfter lunch there will be the opportunity to explore digital methods in one of eight practical workshops including: \nWikipedia and Wikidata: the sum of all knowledge\nEwan McAndrew (Wikimedian in Residence\, UoE) \nWikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world and the largest reference work on the internet.Wikidata\, the database that anyone can edit\, serves as the semantic backbone for structured data in Wikipedia and its sister projects. Unlike other digital intermediaries\, its open editing model is completely\, ruthlessly transparent. \nYet\, while it is the website that anyone can edit not everyone does or knows how to. This practical session will help provide a more informed approach to navigating how to use\, contribute to & evaluate the free & open encyclopedia. \nUsing Wikidata\, information on Wikipedia can be queried & visualised as never before. Beyond this\, SPARQL queries can analyse datasets from Wikidata\, and through federated queries\, analyse data from multiple other sources. \nThis session will include a look at how data can be added to Wikidata and how it can be consumed\, queried and visualised; whether it’s Voltaire’s works\, the collections of the National Library of Wales\, the Atlas of Hillforts project\, an analysis of MPs’ occupations or the 3 million linked citations visualised using the new Scholia tool. \nClick here for more information on the Digital Day of Ideas and Registration

SUMMARY:Wiki Women in Red - March meetup
DESCRIPTION:In November 2014\, just over 15% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies were about women. \nFounded in July 2015\, WikiProject Women in Red has brought the figure up to 16.97%\, as of 21 May 2017. \nBut that means\, only 249\,079 of Wikipedia’s 1\,468\,135 biographies are about women. \nNot impressed? Neither are we. Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias\, and this series of meetups seeks to address it in a positive way. \nIn order to address this we run monthly informal Wiki meetups focused on improving Wikipedia’s representation of notable women; turning red-linked articles that don’t yet exist into blue clickable ones that do. \nThese are drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing does help. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up (as this 5 minute walkthrough demonstrates) and help will be available on the day. \nThe editing will focus on creating and improving the quality of articles about notable women on Wikipedia using source texts such as The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women. \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \n  \nThe meetup on Friday March 30th will be in the ground floor training room (EW.10) of Argyle House\, 3 Lady Lawson Street\, Edinburgh. 2pm to 5pm. Open to all. \nBook your place here.

SUMMARY:Copyright & Licensing Training
DESCRIPTION:The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs\, social media\, digitisation and online collaboration etc.) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies\, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance. \nThis Copyright and Licensing training course is well-suited to those who require a basic understanding of copyright law\, licensing\, and open educational resources. For those who already have some knowledge of copyright law and licensing\, this course can serve as a refresher. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be ample. \nCopyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence\, awareness and staff skills\, enabling them to provide information services in compliance with the law and open educational resources. \nEugen Stoica is a Scholarly Communications Officer for the Library and provides support for Intellectual Property Rights\, bibliometrics\, repository administration and e-theses. \nStephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement.

SUMMARY:Wiki Women in Red - January meetup
DESCRIPTION:In November 2014\, just over 15% of the English Wikipedia’s biographies were about women. \nFounded in July 2015\, WikiProject Women in Red has brought the figure up to 16.97%\, as of 21 May 2017. \nBut that means\, only 249\,079 of Wikipedia’s 1\,468\,135 biographies are about women. \nNot impressed? Neither are we. Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias\, and this series of meetups seeks to address it in a positive way. \nIn order to address this we run monthly informal Wiki meetups focused on improving Wikipedia’s representation of notable women; turning red-linked articles that don’t yet exist into blue clickable ones that do. \nThese are drop-in sessions so knowledge of Wikipedia editing does help. However\, Wikipedia editing can be easy to pick up (as this 5 minute walkthrough demonstrates) and help will be available on the day. \nThe editing will focus on creating and improving the quality of articles about notable women on Wikipedia using source texts such as The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women. \nCome along to learn about how Wikipedia works and create new role models for young and old alike! \n  \nThe meetup on Friday January 26th will be in the ground floor training room (EW.10) of Argyle House\, 3 Lady Lawson Street\, Edinburgh. 2pm to 5pm. Open to all. \nBook your place here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wikipedia's sister project: Wikisource - the Free Digital Library
DESCRIPTION:Safeguarding digital heritage and ‘the democracy of reading’ (Smith in Shaffi\, 2015) has never been more important. \nThis session will introduce you to Wikisource: Wikimedia’s free library of openly-licensed source texts. \n“Quotations or images from centuries ago can still touch or inspire\, and as readers share this reaction online\, the interested audience grows. The Wikimedia projects make it easy for people to enjoy and share out-of-copyright text\, creating and satisfying a modern curiosity about past authors.”(Martin Poulter\, 2015) \nWhat will the session include? \n\nAn introduction to what Wikisource is and how you can engage with it.\nA short practical activity where you will learn how to navigate Wikisource and proofread a page of text.\nAn example of how an out-of-copyright/openly-licensed PhD thesis has been transcribed to Wikisource so the text is now 100% searchable\, quality-checked and linked to from Wikipedia just 1 click away.\n\n  \nPre-requisites \nBasic knowledge of using the internet and some understanding of HTML markup would be beneficial to get involved in the practical activity\, but there are no other pre-requisites. \n  \nWhat should I bring? \nDesktop computers are provided but you are welcome to bring a laptop with you if you prefer. In addition\, please have a think if there are copyright-free source texts you would like to see transcribed to Wikisource. \nPlease also create an account on Wikisource before arriving. If you have ever edited Wikipedia before\, you can use the same login details. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: http://edin.ac/2zFf00C \n  \nHeader Image: Wikisource demonstration at OER16\, by Stinglehammer\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, via Wikimedia Commons

SUMMARY:Wiki Loves Monuments - Adding 2\,100 new pictures of Scotland to Wikipedia
DESCRIPTION:Scotland has just been voted the most beautiful country in the world in a Rough Guide readers’ poll. \nPerhaps I’m a tad biased but I’d tend to agree. There’s nowhere quite like it. \nYet\, we who live and work here can take it for granted that our beautiful locations\, listed buildings and monuments will always be there… something that can never be fully guaranteed. \nThat’s why it’s so important that we take the opportunity to document our cultural heritage now for future generations before it is too late. \nThe world’s largest photo competition\, Wiki Loves Monuments\, takes place for the whole of September. \nThis year\, a record 2\,100 high quality pics of listed buildings and monuments were added to Wikimedia Commons to help preserve our cultural heritage online. Now that they are Commons\, these can now help illustrate Wikipedia for the benefit of all. \nThis drop-in session is open to all and will show how easy it is to add these newly taken images to relevant Wikipedia pages. Have a look at the wonderful pictures taken this year. \n  \nBookings via MyEd: http://edin.ac/2zrHh9P \n  \nHeader Image: Buchanan Castle\, by Francis Curran\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, Wikimedia Commons

SUMMARY:Be Open - How to create\, use\, and share Open Educational Resources
DESCRIPTION:Use open\, be open. Learn how to create teaching and research presentations that can be shared openly on the web without infringing copyright. \nOpen Educational Resources (OER) are: \n”Teaching\, learning and research materials in any medium\, digital or otherwise\, that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access\, use\, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” ~ UNESCO \nFree is not the most important thing about OER\, it’s the permission to modify. \nIn this session we will review the strategy\, value\, and diversification that creating\, sharing\, and useing OER can bring. \nYou will also be invited to develop short visual presentations using openly licensed content. During the session you’ll be guided through the process of finding\, reusing\, and sharing open content\, learning about Creative Commons licenses along the way. \nBookings via MyEd here \nHeader image: Shield metal sign open\, Pixabay\, CC0

SUMMARY:Teaching with Wikipedia: What do I need to know first?
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, open to all University of Edinburgh staff\, we will discuss best practice from three recent Wikipedia assignments at the University of Edinburgh and outline the steps that would be involved in running a Wikipedia assignment. \nDemystifying the process behind such assignments\, attendees will have the opportunity to find out more about how assignments can be conducted in their own field including: \n\nan overview of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines;\nhow the new Visual Editor interface has made editing Wikipedia as easy as blogging with WordPress;\nhow to create worklists for students to create/improve articles in their field of interest;\nhow to manage assignments using the Dashboard platform and/or Project pages.\nhow to tidy up articles at the completion of the assignment (linking to & from other relevant pages\, adding categories\, linking to relevant WikiProjects etc.)\n\nIn a recent survey 97% of instructors have said they would teach with Wikipedia again while Wiki Education assignments have also been shown to improve student writing and the learning & teaching within the curriculum. NB: Watch Your OERs will outlive you:(video) for a fuller picture. \nBookings via MyEd: http://edin.ac/2zsFCRp

SUMMARY:Black History Month Editathon
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Black History Month\, this event is focused on increasing the representation of women of colour on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a primary way finding information in the modern world – it is truly an incredible resource. But its power can be dangerous. It means that its systemic biases can have a large impact on the way we think. Wikipedia\, like most mainstream publishing and media\, is very disproportionately white and male. However\, unlike traditional information resources\, Wikipedia’s users can have a direct positive impact on its content. \nYou can directly engage in history\, and have a real world impact by creating a Wikipedia page from scratch and while learning about incredible women of colour. \nThe University’s Wikimedian in Residence\, Ewan McAndrew\, will be leading the session and teaching Wikipedia editing from the very basics\, so no previous knowledge is necessary. (Editing Wikipedia is not hard to pick up as this 5 minute walkthrough of the new Visual Editor interface demonstrates). Computers will be provided or bring your own if you prefer. \nCome along and get involved in creating better representation of women of colour on the world’s largest information resource! Help create new role models for young and old alike! \n  \n\nIf a member of staff or student at the university then book your place via MyEd.\nIf coming from outside the university then book your place via Eventbrite.\n\nEveryone is welcome! \n  \nHeader image: Black History Month Wikipedia poster including photo of Bessie Coleman\, First African American Pilot\, NASA\, Public Domain

SUMMARY:Copyright and Licensing Training
DESCRIPTION:The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs\, social media\, digitisation and online collaboration etc.) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies\, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance. \nThis Copyright and Licensing training course is well-suited to those who require a basic understanding of copyright law\, licensing\, and open educational resources. For those who already have some knowledge of copyright law and licensing\, this course can serve as a refresher. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be ample. \nCopyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence\, awareness and staff skills\, enabling them to provide information services in compliance with the law and open educational resources. \nEugen Stoica is a Scholarly Communications Officer for the Library and provides support for Intellectual Property Rights\, bibliometrics\, repository administration and e-theses. \nStephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement.

SUMMARY:Hidden Gems Editathon
DESCRIPTION:Coverage of Scottish heritage sites on Wikipedia\, and other Wikimedia projects\, is not as extensive as it should be\, and does not reflect the sum of knowledge held in the various local history collections of Scotland. \nThere are six UNESCO world heritage sites in Scotland\, and so many more that are right in our back garden. In 2017\, Dig It! ran six events on April 18\, to celebrate those world heritage sites. Over the summer\, they ran a competition to find Scotland’s favourite “Hidden Gems”. The six winners of the public vote were: \n\nGovan Stones\nArdrossan Castle\nJames Watt’s Cottage\nLincluden Collegiate Church\nThe Howff\, Dundee\nCampbeltown Picture House\n\nIn partnership with the Scottish Library and Information Council\, this editathon will seek to redress that imbalance. \nThis will be the first editathon event for the new Wikimedian residency at SLIC. It provides an opportunity to partner with various local public library services in order to find good quality secondary sources which can be used to improve the on-wiki coverage of Scotland’s history\, heritage and archaeology. It also provides an opportunity to introduce history\, heritage\, archaeology and library/information professionals to learn more about Wikipedia/media and its usefulness for their sector. \nNo experience is necessary\, as training will be given\, and SLIC’s Wikimedian in Residence Sara Thomas will be on hand to offer support. \nThe session is open to anyone\, however it is primarily aimed at History\, Heritage\, Archaeology and Library students and professionals. \nClick here to learn more about the event and how to sign up \n  \nHeader imaged: Cropped Dundee Howff burial ground grave 2\, Yottanesia (Wikimedia Commons)\, Public Domain
