Welcome to Wikimedia New York City!

Wikimedia New York City and Farming Concrete invite you to attend our Community Gardens Editathon on Saturday, May 4, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm ET. Food and Wi-Fi will be provided!

This edit-a-thon is focused on Community gardens in New York City, and is supported in part by a grant from Earth Alliance which last year held the Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Climate Solutions Editathon.

Both newcomers and experienced Wiki editors will join together to improve the coverage of our city in this area. If you can't stay for the whole time, feel free to drop by for however long you can.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct.
