CCA is looking for a Wikipedian for March 15 edit-a-thon
by Britta Gustafson 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi everyone! Would you be able to help with an upcoming Art + Feminism edit-a-thon at California College of the Arts on Thursday March 15? Their Digital Scholarship Librarian is looking for a Wikipedia editor to do an initial training for new editors and help new editors during the event. It'll be from 3 to 6 pm at CCA's SF campus, in the Simpson Library (1111 Eighth St, San Francisco). If you're interested and would be available, email me directly, and I'll connect you with them! (It's not compatible with my work schedule, unfortunately.) Also, SFMOMA now has a meetup page up for their Thursday March 8 event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Art%2BFeminism… Thank you, Britta

SF MOMA Art + Feminism editathon, Thurs Mar 8, 5-9 pm
by Britta Gustafson 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi everyone, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will be hosting its first edit-a-thon on Thursday March 8, 5-9 pm, and they'd love for local Wikipedia community members to participate, and to help mentor brand-new editors there (if you can). This will be an Art + Feminism themed event, at SFMOMA's Public Knowledge Library at 151 Third Street, on the 2nd floor - free to the public. They'll have a SFMOMA website page up soon, and I'll be helping them make a meetup page on Wikipedia itself soon. For now, it's on the Public Knowledge calendar for March (https://publicknowledge.sfmoma.org/calendar/) and it's also a Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/148704872605276/). Thanks, Britta

Hi everyone! Encouraged by User:Nikikana, I'm organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments photowalk on Saturday September 16 at 1 pm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/WLM_Financial_… - starting in Chinatown and heading down through the Financial District.
