Join us for Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Arte y Cultura Latinoamericana (“WikiArte”), a communal day of creating, updating, improving, and translating Wikipedia articles about Latin American art and culture.
All are invited, and no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience is required. We will provide training sessions and resources for beginner Wikipedians, WiFi, reference materials, and suggested topics, as well as childcare* and refreshments. Please bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for articles that need to be updated, translated, or created. You are welcome to edit all day or drop by to show your support, and be sure to follow #WikiArte on social media.
Training for new and less experienced Wikipedia editors will be offered (in English) at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Tutorials and resources in Spanish will be available online, and participants are also encouraged to work on the Spanish- and Portuguese-language editions of Wikipedia. For information about international partners for WikiArte, please visit the WikiArte Meetup page.
Admission to the edit-a-thon is free, but please RSVP.
*Please note: Childcare requires advance registration by September 28. E-mail [email protected] with the number of children requiring care, their first names and ages, and what time you plan to arrive.
