Hey Wikipedians!
Just wanted to make sure you all know about our upcoming in-pereson event next Wednesday, March 25, in Chapel Hill.
This would be a great first-time in-person event for anyone on this list, for experienced and new editors alike. And especially if you're interested in country music or racial equity in the music industry.
The event is called Wikicurious: Country Music's Mythology. It'll have two brief (15-minute) music-themed talks, including one by Rissi Palmer, a singer-songwriter and the host of the podcast *Color Me Country*, which highlights Black, Latinx, and Indigenous country artists.
You'll also learn how to make Wikipedia edits that stick, see an exhibit of photos and fan culture from the Grand Ole Opry's archives, and you'll have time to make edits that improve Wikipedia's coverage of underrepresented country music artists.
It's free, and there will be some kind of food (pizza or tacos, we're still figuring it out). It's happening Wednesday, March 25, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m at the Love House on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.
You can see the full details and register here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Wikicurious:_Country_Music%27s_Mythology
Spread the word to any other Wiki-curious folks you know!
