The Trust for Public Land is hosting a private workshop for their staff to edit Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects.
Wikipedia is a nonprofit media organization which provides information on a range of topics. The Trust for Public Land might be interested in a Wikipedia collaboration as a way to achieve communication goals including reaching a larger and more relevant audience, by presenting the expertise and brand of TPL in Wikipedia's publications about parks, or for the purpose of recommending Wikipedia as a publishing outlet for individual parks anywhere when their management has a need to demonstrate information distribution to a relevant audience.
Workshop participants will leave with the following:
- Perspective and the ability to discuss Wikipedia's place in the new media ecosystem
- Understanding of options for engagement with Wikipedia, including estimates of what audience reach might result from a given labor investment
- Experience of having edited Wikipedia a few times in the typical way
