Hello,

 

I thought this announcement might be appropriate for this list.

 

On June 14th, 2014 there will be a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon themed around Frederick County Maryland History taking place at the C. Burr Artz Library in Frederick, Maryland.  Anyone interested in the rich history of Frederick County is welcome to join.  The Edit-a-thon will begin around 11:00 local time with a presentation introducing Wikipedia and a presentation introducing the history of Frederick County.  At 12:00 local time we will be moving into the Maryland Room, Frederick County Public Library’s archives, to begin researching and writing articles.  The event will end at 16:00 local time.

 

So in brief that is:

Frederick County History Edit-a-thon

Location: C. Burr Artz Library in Frederick, Maryland

Time: 11:00-16:00 Eastern Time

Topic: Frederick County History

Page on en.wp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Frederick_County_History

 

Do any of you have experience running Edit-a-thons at libraries?  This will be my first time doing so, and I would love any helpful advice that you can give me.

 

Thank you,
