Editing Example

[edit]

Hello. This is an example for students at Mt. SAC's Wikipedia Edit-a-thon with Art+Feminism. Mt. SAC Library has helped students for the past four years to edit.

What to consider

[edit]
  1. First, let's log into Wikipedia and locate our "user page".
  2. Once you login and are in your user page we will want to start to edit by using the "visual editor"
  3. Write a few sentences. Maybe something about your artist, why editing Wikipedia is worthwhile, or anything you feel would be fun to edit as part of this practice.
  4. EXTRA TIME: Review your artist's page to consider what you might add for the edit-a-thon later this month. No need to make any edits now, this can just help you think about it without any pressure.
Today we will learn some basics of editing
[edit]
  • How to interlink (adding links to other Wikipedia pages)
  • How to link (adding links to websites outside of Wikipedia)
  • Explore the visual editor:
    • Consider how to use headings
    • The links feature
    • After this example you will learn how to add citations.
