Dear Digital Medievalists,

on Monday 28 July 2025 at 15:00 BST = 16:00 CEST/Rome, Paolo Monella and Andrea La Veglia will be leading an open Digital Classicist wiki editing sprint themed "Viva l'Italia!", including an introductory short training session in English on how to edit the wiki itself.

What is the Digital Classicist Wiki (wiki.digitalclassicist.org)? It is a collaboratively edited catalogue of projects, tools, methods and other topics in the application of digital humanities to ancient world studies. If you would like to contribute to the maintenance and editing of this platform, please join us for this introductory workshop and tutorial.

What will we do in the initial training session? The initial session will introduce the Wiki, its goals and scope, and the simple wiki-syntax with which it is edited (the same MediaWiki platform as Wikipedia and related wikis). It will involve a short tutorial and demonstration of the interface, followed by the opportunity to practice editing on the live Wiki, with one-to-one support from experienced editors.

Theme The "Viva l'Italia!" theme is mostly a tribute to the numerosity of the Italian members of the Digital Classicist (DC) community. Paolo and Andrea will be mostly focussing on digital projects from Italy or by Italians abroad, but everyone is welcome to contribute on whatever page and in whatever way.

Booking Advance booking is required (https://ics.sas.ac.uk/events/introduction-digital-classicist-wiki-editing). If you do not already have an account on the Digital Classicist Wiki, please contact one of the site administrators *before the day of the session* to request a new account be created for you.

Best, Paolo Monella Andrea La Veglia
