A "Wiki Lounge" is being held at the University of Liverpool on 22 November 2011. A Wiki Lounge is an informal drop-in session at which Wikipedians provide advice on Wikipedia and related subjects to members of the public, who call in throughout the day. Aims include:
- Teaching members of the public about Wikipedia
- Assisting students and academics in using Wikipedia for academic research
- Teaching members of the public how to correct errors on Wikipedia (sometimes in a way that ensures a lack of COI)
- Answering any other queries people may have about Wikipedia
A Wiki Lounge is informal, but is similar in many ways to OTRS, just in real time. We have no fixed agenda beyond a start time and end time, and nobody should feel obligated to stay for the full day. If you are thinking about coming in a learning capacity, please consider signing up here.
The Wiki Lounge is being held at Sydney Jones Library in the University of Liverpool—if you cannot see us, just ask a member of staff or look for somebody wearing a Wikipedia t-shirt or hat. Please sign up below if you're interested in coming to help.
[edit] Details
The full address is:
- Sydney Jones Library
- University of Liverpool
- Liverpool
- L69 3BX
The post code above is the Royal Mail sorting office for a PO box. Try somewhere near the centre of this map for the Library.
We are looking to start at 10am and finish at 6pm but you cetainly don't have to be there for the whole day.
We will be going for drinks at the first-ever Liverpool meetup after the event.
