Good day all,
I just wanted to let you know that our edit-a-thon at the C. Burr Artz Library's
Maryland Room (archives) was a success. We had 9 people show up, 3 new editors,
and 2 new people make accounts (one already had one that just had never been
used). We also had one person who just came to see the presentation, but didn't
actually create an account.
We created 2 new articles, actually photographed a few local buildings that had
articles, but no photos, and made modifications to four other articles. The
edit-a-thon was not quite as productive as I would have liked, but everyone
still had a good time and some folks new to Wikimedia learned who we are and
what we are about.
I'll have a full write-up, with what I learned and advise for future organisers
along with detailed results, on-wiki a bit later, but I wanted to give a brief
summary here now. I'll email again once I've done the full write-up.
Thank you,
