Wikipedia:GLAM/State Library of New South Wales/March 2013
13 March 2013 Training Workshop[edit]
This follow-up workshop aims to develop competency and confidence in relatively new Wikipedians. Since competency in new skills requires practice and there is an ambitious number of skills to master, the workshop aims to give participants as much opportunity as possible to work with Wikipedia in order to produce publishable results.

Questions
Working group members can add any questions or topics they would like to explore further:
- How to find broken links in Wikipedia to references on the State Library's website?
- Should we use CC-BY-SA 3.0 AU or CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported licences on images uploaded to Wiki Commons?
- Is there a way to link to another wikipedia article without using that article's exact name, as it sometimes (because of disambiguation) reads very awkwardly?
