Event Details

Wikipedia is the largest online encyclopedia in the world. With millions of articles, thousands of editors, and decades of research, it has become a trusted resource for getting first-look information in dozens of different disciplines. Yet fewer than 20% of Wikipedia's biographical articles feature women. 

Learn to edit Wikipedia pages and contribute to making knowledge more accessible and to help correct this disparity. All experience levels are welcome. It is highly recommended that participants create a Wikipedia account ahead of time. 

This program is a hybrid program and will be held in person and virtually over Zoom. Zoom participants should provide their email when registering so that they may receive a link to the meeting room.

Please register and reserve your space below! Light refreshment will be provided.

The San Diego Wikimedians User Group, an affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation, will be giving a short tutorial on getting started with Wiki editing. Afterwards, we will begin editing! Computers will be available. Attendees may bring their own WiFi-enabled devices if they so desire, though in-room outlet space may be limited.
