Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

press release: Did you know 90% of Wikipedia contributors are men? Never edited Wikipedia before? No idea where to start or what to do? No problem - we've got you covered.

Attendees will view a tutorial on how to contribute to Wikipedia, and we'll have several experienced editors on-hand to answer questions and help with trouble-shooting. All are welcome to come, pick up some skills, and add / improve whatever content they like.

Come anytime between 5:30pm and 7:30pm.

WHAT CAN I DO?

There are a ton of ways you can participate as an individual, or partnering with a friend or fellow WiT member, including:

Write new articles (we'll have a list of suggestions available)

Help with research (we'll have pre-selected library books on-hand)

Fact-check existing articles

Add citations to existing articles

Expand existing articles

And more!

We recommend bringing a laptop if you have one, but the library is also providing some for us to use, so don't let that stop you!

The library is fully accessible; there's nearby parking garages or street parking. Kids are 100% welcome.
