engage: Wikipedia and Wikimedia for public engagement


If you have a digital photograph of a building in Oxford, whether on a USB drive, a digital camera (with USB cable) or online on a site such as Flickr.com, please bring it along. Before attending please create an account on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Main+Page

How does Wikipedia, for no money, document a city, a category (such as “Grade II listed building”) or a concept (such as “religious practice”)? It uses online tools to identify actions and divide them between volunteers. We will explore this process, using photographs of Oxford as an example.
