A few weeks ago Roger Bamkin gave a very informative and entertaining TDC talk on his Monmouthpedia project. His slides are here.

There was a great deal of interest in learning the arcane art of editing Wikipedia so Roger has kindly agreed to run two hands-on workshops for us. The sessions will be held in the TDC and are open to all staff and postgraduate students across the university. Refreshments will be provided.
