This event will be online, on the Skeptics in the Pub Twitch channel.

Wikipedia is known as an international encyclopaedia. But is it also a worldwide network with secret members, seeking to influence humankind? Or is it a web forum, where one can publish their opinion? How does Wikipedia work? And how can you make a difference?

Even among skeptics Wikipedia is still looked at with scrutiny. Is it reliable? Are there mechanisms and processes to make Wikipedia more valid and protected?

The Skeptics in the Pub Online presentation will answer all these questions and more.

Annika Harrison is a member of GWUP, the German skeptics organisation.
