UCD Library edit-a-thons: California, UC Davis, and more
Want to work on articles that are read by thousands of people? Come learn how to edit Wikipedia! What will we do?[edit]This is an informal event where interested participants will get together to improve and write Wikipedia articles, with a special focus on UC Davis and California related topics (though feel free to write on any topic; past edit-a-thons have focused on women in science, for instance). If you are new to Wikipedia, help will be available with hands-on tutorials and introductions tailored to participant needs: bring your Wikipedia questions and topics that you are interested in working on (you don't need to be an expert!) If you are an experienced Wikipedia editor, feel free to dive right in. Librarians will also be available to help with finding and using UC Davis library resources to improve articles. People from campus and the surrounding community are welcome, as are editors of the DavisWiki -- and feel free to come for any part of the session, it will be drop-in. Contact Phoebe Ayers (psayers<at>ucdavis.edu) with any questions, and help spread the word! Details and logistics[edit]
