Re: [Wikimediaau-l] WP training at NLA last week
HI again Ok its up, I noticed you were at the SLNSW WWI editathon as well feel free to expand that, I have asked Toby to provide some details on the image tool mentioned as well Thanks for your help Gideon On 4 December 2013 11:53, Gnangarra wrote: > I'll let know when its done so you can have a poke round and including any > thing else you'd to see noted > > > On 4 December 2013 11:46, Liam Wyatt wrote: > >> Certainly :-) >> >> wittylama.com >> Peace, love & metadata >> >> >> On 4 December 2013 14:44, Gnangarra wrote: >> >>> HI Liam >>> >>> Can I take this to create the basis of a section on the event in >>> https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/November_2013/Contents/Australia_and_New_Zealand_reportwhich >>> is due out in 3 days >>> >>> Cheers >>> Gideon >>> >>> >>> On 2 December 2013 12:20, Liam Wyatt wrote: >>> On Friday, user:Aliaretiree and user:Rubicon49bce (Mylee and Katherine from the State Library of NSW) and myself did a full-day training workshop at the National Library for representatives of each of the other State Libraries in Australia.

The event was under the auspices of the annual 'Australian Newspapers Plan' consortium meeting (a committee of all the state libraries to coordinate their newspaper collecting/preservation). WP event project page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia :GLAM/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales/NSLA_Training_November_2013 This training session was significant not only in terms of the fact that there are a couple of trained Wikipedia editors among the staff of each state/territory library now, but also because this was the culmination of the SLNSW Wikipedia project (which included the Wikipedian In Residence with user:Whiteghost.ink earlier in the year). The project was always hoping to be able to develop enough skill and confidence within the SLNSW that editing WP became part of 'business as usual' for their staff, and that they could then train other state libraries too. So, to sit up the back of the room and watch two of my former 'students' deliver their own WP training day was brilliant! Thanks especially to user:99of9 (Toby, also one of the original SLNSWtrainers) for helping out remotely during the day and over the weekend in ensuring the articles we created were given the once-over and all our new users were welcomed. You can see the practical results of the day, in terms of new users and new articles created, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia :GLAM/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales/NSLA _Training_November_2013#Trainees [note there are two articles currently sitting in the 'articles for creation' queue and one is currently being debated for deletion. If people could weigh in on those that would be helpful]. Sincerely, -Liam / Wittylama p.s. On a side note - here at the NLA we just had a public guest talk by user:edsu (Ed Summers) from the Library of Congress. He spent basically the entire time talking about how good wikipedia was and why GLAM-Wiki was really important, and showing off some of the visualisation tools he's created to demonstrate that - such as Linkypedia http://wikistream.wmflabs.org/ and Wikistream http:// wikistream.wmflabs.org/ You don't often get a better endorsement than that! -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l >>> >>> >>> -- >>> GN. >>> Photo Gallery: http://gnangarra.redbubble.com >>> Gn.
