Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at MoMA this coming weekend (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.
You are invited to participate in our communal day of creating, updating, improving, and translating Wikipedia articles about Latin American art and culture at MoMA!
*** Saturday October 3 WikiArte Latin America Edit-a-thon @ MoMA 11:00am - 5:00 pm (drop-in anytime!) at MoMA Cullman Education and Research Building, 4 West 54th Street ***
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. We will provide training sessions and resources for beginner Wikipedians, WiFi, reference materials, and suggested topics, as well as childcare and refreshments.
Please bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for articles that need to be updated, translated, or created. You are welcome to edit all day or drop by to show your support, and to follow #WikiArte on social media!
Trainings for new and less experienced Wikipedia editors will be offered (in English) at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Tutorials and resources in Spanish will be available online, and participants are also encouraged to work on the Spanish and Portuguese language editions of Wikipedia.
Please note: Childcare requires advanced registration by September 28 (please e-mail digital_media@moma.org with number of children requiring care, their first names and ages, and what time you plan on attending).
