The Faculty of Music and IT Services at the University of Oxford are hosting a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on the theme of Tudor Music on the afternoon of Friday 5 February 2016.

- Date: 2-5pm, Friday 5 February 2016
- Venue: IT Services, University of Oxford (directions)
- Participants: All welcome! No Wiki editing experience is necessary, though experienced editors are very welcome; tutorials will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers.
