Hi Wiki Yorkers,
You are invited to join us for the MoMA Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on
Saturday, to support the expansion of Wikipedia's coverage of women in the
arts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/ArtAndFeminism_2016
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-artfeminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets…
We encourage both people new to Wikipedia, and people who have experience
editing online, or have joined us for past edit-a-thon events.
This is by far our biggest event of the year (over 200 participants in the
last edition), and every extra hand counts, so please join and volunteer to
help us engage new communities!
Date: Saturday, March 5, 2015
Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm EST (drop-in anytime!)
Location: The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building
at the Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54 Street (between 5th/6th), New York,
NY 10019
Please note that this entrance is one block north of the main 53rd
Street entrance, closer to 5th Avenue.
Please bring a laptop with you! Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for
entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you
to stop by to show your support.
And bring your interested friends and colleagues!
And for those not in the city, see regional and global events here:
