Event Details

[edit]

Wikipedia edit-a-thons have emerged as a powerful tool for communities that are underserved by the lack of diversity among Wikipedia content editors. This “Wiki Art + Feminism Art and Activism” event - hosted by NYU Libraries with support from Wikimedia NYC - will train you to create and edit Wikipedia entries. Laptops will be available, but you are encouraged to bring your own, as well an idea for a non-existent or underdeveloped Wikipedia entry. Refreshments will be served. All experience levels welcome!

To come prepared, you can create an account ahead of time here: Create a Wikipedia Editor Account. (Pseudonyms are encouraged, as is an email for password recovery.) Volunteers will also be available onsite and happy to help you create an account.

Children are welcome. Snacks and activities will be available, but no formal supervision will be provided.

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