Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
Wikimedia NYC invites you to attend a Women in Translation Edit-a-thon on
Thursday, April 18th at Goethe-Institute! Help address the gender and other
gaps on Wikipedia relating to literary translation by editing articles on
international women writers, women translators and other underrepresented
groups. Come with your own computer, connect with countless resources, and
leave with a basic toolkit to continue editing on your own. The workshop
will be led by translators Margaret Carson and Alta L. Price. Newcomers to
Wikipedia and experienced contributors of all genders, including queer,
gender-non-conforming and gender-non-binary, are welcome.
***Women in Translation Edit-a-thon***
Where: Goethe-Institut New York
When: Thursday, April 18th 3:00PM - 5:00PM
