This is the event page for the Wikipedia editing workshop at the 2016 International Conference on High Energy Physics in Chicago on 10 August 2016.The workshop is a casual, drop-in, volunteer managed event just like other similar workshops in the Wikipedia:Year of Science. Participants are invited to meet to discuss Wikipedia and consider making edits to any article.
- When
- Wednesday, August 10, 2016, 12:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
- Where
- What to bring

Getting started
- Register an account at Special:CreateAccount
- If you choose, then after registering for an account please sign into this event. Persons who sign up will be identified by their Wikipedia account as participants in this editing event, and will be recommended for review to editors at Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics
Advice for editing
- The rule for editing Wikipedia is that any statement added should be followed by a citation to the source from which it came. The format to repeat is "sentence-citation, sentence-citation", so even heavier use of citations than academic publishing. All content needs a citation because any of it might be rearranged.
- Because reliable information is the building block of Wikipedia, many times it is useful to start with a reliable source of information to cite and not necessarily a Wikipedia article. Collect any source - an academic paper, a book, or whatever else seems reputable - and identify an interesting fact in that source. Once you have a fact and a citation, then browse Wikipedia for a place to insert your information.
- Wikipedia is built in small steps in this way. All submitted content and edits are reviewed.
