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!

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia
editing experience required. We will provide training sessions and

Trainings for new and less experienced Wikipedia editors will be offered

resources in Spanish will be available online, and participants are also
encouraged to work on the Spanish and Portuguese language editions of
Wikipedia.
