Thanks for sending this out :) I'm sad I can't make it in person, but I'll
participate remotely using resources available in our libraries.

The Colored Conventions Project, in conjunction with
the University of
Delaware Library and the University of Delaware History Media Center, plans
to host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the University of Delaware on Saturday,
April 26.
The program will start at 11:00 a.m. with an Intro to Wikipedia Editing
Workshop, led by Mary Mark Ockerbloom, the Wikipedian in Residence at the
Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia. Mary will give an overview of
topics including Wikipedia culture, the writing style of Wikipedia, and
nuts-and-bolts how-tos.
After the Intro Workshop, the Edit-a-thon will begin at 1:15 p.m.
Attendees are welcome to bring their own interests and data for entry in
Wikipedia. Attendees who do not bring data of their own are invited to use
the biographical and other information resources gathered by the Colored
Conventions project, which covers a neglected, critical period of
African-American history. The biographical information about historically
important men and women of color could help to fill the current deficit of
such information on Wikipedia.
