Starting later this month, we're running a series of free sessions as part of the UCL200 Wiki Campaign! across both campuses and online. Come along to learn how to edit Wikipedia, discover more about UCL's history, and have some fun along the way! Book now on tinyurl.com/WikiUCL200.
Promotional image for the “UCL200 Wiki Campaign!” on a pale purple background. Large text in the left centre reads “UCL200 Wiki Campaign!”, with “Book now in bio” above it. The text at the bottom left reads “Wednesday from 21 October onwards, exact dates on Eventbrite”, followed by “UCL Bloomsbury, UCL East and online” in another paragraph. The text in the bottom paragraph reads “Building skills on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata whilst exploring UCL history.” On the top right is a Wikipedia globe, a cross-shaped image of a vintage 1984 book in the middle, and a black and white photograph of a large gathering at the Wilkins Building Portico presented in an irregular, cut out shape at the bottom.
