Wikipedia 201 Education Program for Advanced Users in Turkey

About

Wikipedia 201 (Vikipedi 201) is a video training set project where experienced Wikipedia users will transfer their experiences to other Wikipedians and shoot and record them in a professional studio for later viewing. This project was carried out by User:Kurmanbek.

Video shooting was done at RGB Studios at Istanbul Bilgi University in Türkiye. The prepared videos can be watched on Wikimedia Turkey's YouTube channel and Wikimedia Commons.
