Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
Join The Met as we host our first edit-a-thon in the Thomas J. Watson

Please register here though the museum website and eventbrite (registration
is required):

==
The Museum is excited to have made available more than 375,000 images of
public-domain artworks for contribution to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons
from The Met collection, which spans 5,000 years of global art. This event
is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse
collection onsite and remotely. The event is a key marker too of The
Metropolitan Museum of Art's first Wikimedian-in-Residence program, with
resident Richard Knipel (User:Pharos), along with Wikimedia NYC. We invite
you to help enhance Wikimedia communities and platforms with open access
images from The Met.
Please note that this event requires preregistration. The Thomas J. Watson
Library has a limited capacity of 50 active and present registered onsite
participants; seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have
not arrived by 10:45 am, your tickets may be released to a wait list. A
wait list will be held for those interested in attending the event after
registration has closed. Those on the wait list may be admitted to
participate should space be available. If you have arrived at the Museum
and are unable to participate in the onsite event due to space limitations,
we encourage you enjoy the galleries after procuring your Museum admission.
If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket registration in
advance via eventbrite.
