Editing suggestions[edit]
Minimum[edit]
The minimum target goal for participants in the editing workshop is the following:
- Register a Wikimedia account
- Add 1 sentence and 1 citation to any Wikipedia article
- Give one comment to a classmate's work
- Respond to any comments a classmate or anyone else directs to you
Doing this much will leave participants with insight into how Wikimedia projects work.
Contest[edit]
The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and WP:WikiProject Computational Biology host a Wikipedia editing competition every year. They describe this year's competition at
If you add or change more than 3 sentences in one article then I recommend entering your edits. All you do to enter is sign your name and list the article you edited on their competition page.
