Introduction to Wikipedia at AJM Feb 2023

On Feb 14 2023, Wikimedia Australia hosted an Introduction to Wikipedia event. Participants learnt how to edit a page and contribute Australian jazz content to Wikipedia.

Editing suggestions

There are many different ways for you to contribute today. Wikipedia is the product of millions of individual contributions and every change that is made, no matter how small, makes a difference!

We’ve prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. Keep in mind Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits.

Instructions

  • Choose a subject from the table below. Write your username in the last column so different people don't work on the same page during the event. After the event anyone is able to edit any page.
  • If the subject is living, please read and follow the guidelines in Wikipedia: Biographies of living persons, for both new pages and editing existing ones.
  • If there is already a page for that subject, check the Talk page for any comments or suggested edits and check the Article page for any templates with suggestions for improvements.
  • Use Australian English and spelling.
