Club Updates
[edit]- Our second annual Wikipedia Takes Columbus photography event is underway! This is a fun week-long event (April 9 - 16) where we upload photos of Columbus and Ohio State to the Wikimedia Commons and help illustrate our city on Wikipedia.
- Scavenger hunt tonight! In place of our weekly workshop, we'll be going around campus to photograph. We'll be meeting at our normal room at 5:30, distributing checklists and snacks, and then heading out. Cameras and smartphones alike are welcome for taking pictures; or just feel free to tag along!
- Prize update: We'll be giving a Wikipedia language water bottle + notebook to the following two people:
- Whoever takes the photos of the most unillustrated Ohio State campus buildings (refer to Draft:List of buildings at Ohio State University).
- Whoever illustrates the most Wikipedia articles with their uploaded images.
- We're participating in The 50,000 Challenge! The aim is to make 50,000 article improvements and creations for the United States, and we're only ~2.55% done. Be sure to sign up if you're interested.
