What problem does this solve? edit

New editors are too intimidated to make there first edit.

What is the solution? edit

  • Please pick a friend who has never edited before.
  • Ask them to make an edit. Any edit in any language.
  • Please have them write one paragraph about their experience.
  • Have them send it to lila at wikimedia dot org with the subject: #1 [1]

General considerations edit

  • Overall I wish I had this on video. It is a bit like an experience of a kid making their first goal. Exhilarating.

When to use edit

  • Anytime you encounter someone who starts talking about Wikipedia, and who has never edited before.
