| On Thursday October 15, 2015, in conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, students plan to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. We aim to work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment.
The event invites participants who are new to Wikipedia and participants who are seasoned editors to provide basic instruction and editing support. | |
