Workshop details
The Saturday afternoon session will use a chapter of the written history that UQ sports historian Murray Phillips is writing about the "The History of the Paralympic Movement in Australia" (HOPAU) as the basis for creating and expanding Wikipedia articles about the Paralympic movement in Australia.
 * Saturday afternoon

Murray’s outline of the chapter identifies the key topics that need to be expanded on Wikipedia in order to complement the development of the written history.

In this session Murray will share what he has in mind, and participants will be collaborating with him to flesh it out. Wikipedians and the Paralympic community will identify which topics the wiki folk should focus on for the next few months in order to be able to work together with his research assistants.

The afternoon session will incorporate whiteboards and discussion about the topics, investigating any potential notability/verifiability issues related to these topics, and allocating topics to people who would like to work on them.

At the conclusion of the session, we'll have a list of topics on the wiki so that the online community can join the discussion and collaboration.

The Sunday morning session will be more focused on content, with participants working individually or in small groups. Participants will be in the stacks, finding resources, scanning, and writing articles.
 * Sunday morning

In both sessions APC staff, Murray Phillips and related UQ staff/students will be working together with Wikipedians to learn how to edit Wikipedia.
