WIKIVET/ WIKIMEDIA VETERINARY SCIENCE EDIT-A-THON
Want to share your veterinary knowledge and expertise with colleagues and students in the profession, then why not join us on the 20th November in London for a WikiVet and WikiMedia Edit-a-Thon? This is part of a series of national events jointly organised by Jisc and Wikimedia UK to encourage more users to author wiki content.
This first ever veterinary edit-a-thon will feature introductions to both WikiVet and Wikipedia and include training for anyone new to wiki editing. Content development will focus on common diseases that vets see in everyday practice, but contributions with a wider veterinary relevance are also welcome.
The event is designed for vets, students and those with an interest in publishing veterinary content on the internet. Wikipedians will be on hand to help so no previous experience of wikis or web editing is required! By the end of the day, all participants will have had the chance to create and publish some new content on Wikipedia or WikiVet.
The edit-a-thon will take place at the Royal Veterinary College’s Camden Campus on the afternoon of 20th November from 14.00 – 18.00. This is a free event but advance registration is required using our Online Booking system.
More details about the event can be found on the Wikimedia UK blog.
