Hi everyone,
Pleased to e-meet you. I’m Mikayla Lynch, associate manager at the Guggenheim Museum in
New York and founder of the Guggenheim Wikipedia Initiative. I’m writing to formally
invite you to the Guggenheim Museum for our upcoming Wikipedia editathon—or, #guggathon—a
day of Wikipedia editing, and public programming dedicated to creating, updating, and
improving articles related women in architecture. The Guggenheim, in collaboration with
the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, Harvard’s Women in Design, and WikiD: Women
Wikipedia Design, is hosting a daylong editathon at the Guggenheim that will include
programming, an editing training, and an architectural tour of the museum. All are
invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience
required. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will provide research resources,
WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.
For more information about the #guggathon, please visit
