We get some savvy people to give lectures about Wikipedia. Details of how Wikipedia works, how to Get Things Done, dealing with editor conflicts and related topics are the primary focus, but any helpful analysis of Wikipedia is welcomed.
The place is #wikipedia-en-lectures, on irc. freenode.net and also our public chat on Skype. IRC and Skype meetups are recorded and/or logged for those who did not make it to the lecture.
If you're interested in attending, leave a message here. If you'd like to give one of the lectures, leave a note here too.

What might help Location:
Vassyana can't make it due to personal circumstances, so I've moved his lecture up one. We'll still have a short lecture dealing with questions from previous lectures, and recaps, for those who would like them.

"Difficulty of discussing disputes with difficult disputants" by User:Vassyana. A talk about the usefulness of engaging in discussion and soliciting clear explanations, both in general dispute resolution and for distinguishing disruption from more benign concerns (such as simple miscommunication or a editor's difficulty in expressing herself). There will be a focus on how to solicit discussion and respond to various general behaviors.

How source experts judge source reliability by User:DGG. A talk about how librarians judge the reliability and usefulness of sources. Knowing how people who make organizing and judging sources their life's work look at sources is probably a very wise idea.

No lecture, today. Instead, please place requests for future lecture topics on the talk page. (or suggestions on who should speak)
