Tisch Library and Tufts Archival Research Center are hosting a Wikipedia edit-a-thon focused on improving Wikipedia content about Black history. A short tutorial will be given to introduce participants to writing and editing in Wikipedia, and we will have suggested topics and articles on hand for you to work on. Librarians and experienced Wikipedia editors from Tufts and the Boston area will be around to guide your editing and research.
You may attend the full three hours or drop in/out as you wish. All members of the Tufts community are welcome to attend. Please bring a laptop. Before the event, please create a Wikipedia account, if you do not have one already, to avoid any issues at the time of the event.
Beginners are welcome! If you want to learn more about contributing to Wikipedia, see these resources: https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students
This event is part of Love Data Week!
