Dear wiki wanderers,
I'm organizing a workshop for people interested in writing about
universities and their people+research, next Tues-Thurs. Hoping to help
get closer to 100% coverage in our fair city.
Hosted by the Media Lab, which has been leading the way w/ free-licensing
policies. This is part of MIT's inter-activities period, and open to the
public; but requires an RSVP for lunch. Details and RSVP here:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/2018_Data_and_Editing_Workshop>Let
me know if any of you are interested in being a mentor for an hour on one
of those days.
Warmly, SJ

sources, and memorable media. Learn how to compile lists of people,
places, and projects and turn them into redlinks.
Learn to make your own work accessible to others who might write about it.
Practice using the network of Wikidata, Commons, and Wikisource for
distributing already-published work.
Compete for clarity, glory, and cryptokitties.
