Within a 24-hour period, only six Wikipedia accounts can be created via
single IP address. If there's a chance you'll have more than six new editors at your edit-a-thon, you'll want to have a plan for how they'll create accounts.
I am told that bureaucrats are exempt from this restriction. I have never had to use this exemption as a 'crat on w:mr but I suppose I can do that if needed.

Thanks folks! I'm back from a trip and catching up. I'm CCing the Colorado user group email list.
I've added the event to our local events page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder
It might make sense to make a wikipedia page for the event also, like we've done in the past. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Meetup/Colorado/Wiknic/2016
On wikipedia, my username is "nealmcb" (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/User:Nealmcb). If you all share yours (or we make and sign up on a Wikipedia page) it will be easier to coordinate things on wikipedia itself.
I also posted it to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipedia.boulder/ permalink/1080892208681814/
I suggest advertising widely. Having room for 35 sounds great.
I'm pretty open for a planning meeting this week also.
I also found this Boulder Art + Feminism event also, from March 8th:
http://events.colorado.edu/EventList.aspx?fromdate=2/27/ 2017&todate=3/12/2017&display=&type=public&eventidn=41148& view=EventDetails&information_id=167749
Did anyone go to that?
It lists Contact Information: Name: Jessica Brunecky Email: jessica.brunecky@colorado.edu so she'd be a good one to touch base with!
Finally, there is some organizing info at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon
note in particular:
Within a 24-hour period, only six Wikipedia accounts can be created via single IP address. If there's a chance you'll have more than six new editors at your edit-a-thon, you'll want to have a plan for how they'll create accounts.
They have tips for handling that, and also for advertising the event on wikipedia, e.g. via the geographic software notices.

I'm probably not the most knowledgeable about how to actually
edit well, being more a developer than an editor myself, but
the event certainly looks interesting and I'd love to come get in
the way. I mean, help. So if anyone else is interested in
meeting up next week, I should be around too, so just let me know. -I On 14/03/17 03:43, Kassondra Cloos wrote: Hi everyone, We're coming up on the event Abby and I are hosting at the

event she hosted in New York. She had some really useful
insight for us on on the intricacies of writing and editing
on Wikipedia, and we realized there is a lot we don't know.
For example, we were both thinking we could give people a
list of women who need pages, and send them off to start
researching them, but Jackie mentioned that those articles
could get deleted by more senior editors if they're written
by folks just starting out. We want to make sure we're
setting people up with the knowledge and tools they need to
build up their experience and become lifelong editors who
will regularly add citations, and, hopefully, some day write
well-researched entries on important women as they see needs. I think Pharos said you're all based in the Boulder area? If
so, we'd love to meet up with one (or all!) of you to
learn how we can be a useful resource for the folks attending
our event in two weeks. Abby is out of town right now,
but I believe she's coming back next week. My schedule is
completely open then, and I'm also available this weekend if
that works best for anyone. We'd love a bit of a primer on
how to get started as editors, and a run-through of the
system so that we can give accurate advice during our event. Also, if any of you are interested in joining us at
Sanitas for our "Outdoor Women of Wikipedia" event, we'd love to

Hello,
I would love to join you on the 26th 4-6 pm. I am in Colorado Springs so
it's a bit of a drive but I'll try to be there.
As a background, I am not a big editor on English Wikipedia but I do have
prolific (if I may say so myself) editing on Marathi
Wikipedia. I'm also an admin and a 'crat there. I'm hoping to hook into offline activities in Colorado and try to grow it
all over the state.
Thank you for putting this together!
Hope to see you soon.

Best, Kassondra P.S. Apologies if I've left someone out here! This chain grew pretty
quickly and I thought it would be simpler to reach out to
the Colorado folks directly, but please feel free to pass this

Hey everyone, Yes to the 3:30 call tomorrow. We'll be at Sanitas Brewery on March 26 from 4-6pm. One thing to

Abhay p.s. I hope those of you in the Boulder area are unaffected by the

Hello, I would love to join you on the 26th 4-6 pm. I am in Colorado Springs
so it's a bit of a drive but I'll try to be there.
As a background, I am not a big editor on English Wikipedia but I do
have prolific (if I may say so myself) editing on Marathi
Wikipedia. I'm also an admin and a 'crat there. I'm hoping to hook into offline activities in Colorado and try to
grow it all over the state.
Thank you for putting this together! Hope to see you soon. Cheers, Abhay On Mon, Mar 13, 2017 at 9:43 PM, Kassondra Cloos <

Hi everyone, We're coming up on the event Abby and I are hosting at the end of
the month, and I want to circle back on all of this for
some additional advice. Abby and I had a great talk with Jackie about the editing event
she hosted in New York. She had some really useful insight
for us on on the intricacies of writing and editing on Wikipedia,
and we realized there is a lot we don't know. For
example, we were both thinking we could give people a list of
women who need pages, and send them off to start researching
them, but Jackie mentioned that those articles could get deleted
by more senior editors if they're written by folks just
starting out. We want to make sure we're setting people up with
the knowledge and tools they need to build up their
experience and become lifelong editors who will regularly add
citations, and, hopefully, some day write well-researched
entries on important women as they see needs. I think Pharos said you're all based in the Boulder area? If so,
we'd love to meet up with one (or all!) of you to learn
how we can be a useful resource for the folks attending our event
in two weeks. Abby is out of town right now, but I
believe she's coming back next week. My schedule is completely
open then, and I'm also available this weekend if that works
best for anyone. We'd love a bit of a primer on how to get
started as editors, and a run-through of the system so that we
can give accurate advice during our event. Also, if any of you are interested in joining us at Sanitas for
our "Outdoor Women of Wikipedia" event, we'd love to have
you all! Jackie mentioned that Erika was an incredible--and
necessary--resource for her event, and we will certainly take
all the help and expertise we can get. Thank you so much, everyone, and I hope you all had a wonderful
weekend!
