Purpose of this Handout

edit

The handout's aim is to provide brand new editors who attend an Edit-a-thon something to take away with them towards the end of the event. Rather than assisting them during the day itself, this info sheet is intended to be read afterwards, to guide them into the next steps after their first foray into Wikipedia. I feel this is sometimes forgotten about.

The handout will be laid out in MS Word, and supplied in printed form.

Feedback is invited:

  • Does it achieve its purpose?
  • Does it overplay or underplay any key issues?
  • Are any key elements missing?
  • What changes should be considered?
  • Any other comments/criticisms?
