Hi folks, I'm planning an edit-a-thon at MIT on Tuesday, January 16, in the afternoon and you are all cordially invited. We'll celebrate Wikipedia's 23 birthday (one day off of Wikipedia Day, which is Jan 15), and this year's public domain day - lots of good stuff https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2024/ is now in the public domain. Our theme this year is "Boston and Beyond" - let's edit on topics related to campus, Cambridge, greater Boston, and beyond.
The meetup page is here:

I'll bring snacks, and come by anytime; we'll start with a class on how to edit.
Also, a special request : please help me find and list articles and things-to-do related to the theme of Boston and Beyond, and link them on the meetup page above. Articles about the quirky and obscure corners of our fair region, and articles with issues that could be easily worked on by new editors, are especially welcome.
thanks and hope to see you soon! Phoebe
