Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon: 2024

Edit for Change

WIKIPEDIA EDIT for change

Workshop + Group Editing
Wednesday, Feb. 14th, 2024
1:00-2:30pm
Zoom (registration open)

Wikipedia is among the most visited websites in the world; it is routinely cited in scholarly articles, the news, and congressional hearings. But Wikipedia openly admits its content is skewed by the gender and racial imbalance of its editors. You can be part of the solution! Join us on Zoom for a tutorial for the beginner Wikipedian, then edit some Wikipedia entries yourself.

Sign up for a free Wikipedia account in advance (optional, read about creating a good Wikipedia username). You may bring topic ideas or articles you’d like to edit, or we’ll help you find a way to make a difference in an area of interest to you.

WHO IS THE EVENT OPEN TO?

This event is open to all who have registered. Register now!

DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO EDIT?

Nope! We'll teach you.
