Hey Wikimedia DC folks:

Great opportunity coming up, would be great to get a satellite conversation happening around Richmond.

Hi all,

I'm working with a librarian (cc'd) at Virginia Commonwealth University, which is in Richmond, on an editathon that is planned for March 24, 2015; they are looking for Wikipedians who can help out online or in-person.

The theme is going to be focused on Virginia history and VCU special collections, e.g. Richmond, VA history, VCU history, the integration of public schools, and women's suffrage in Virginia. They're recruiting new editors, and would like to add links and info, and hopefully upload photos to commons too.

Someone who is willing to help answering questions now and share some of our editathon ideas/best practices and can be online during the event would be ideal. I can probably do it, but may have a conflict, so would like to recruit additional folks to help out.

Thanks! Phoebe
