Wikipedia at Cascadia Culture Week 2020, Tuesday, May 19, 2020, 5-6pm

Transcluded from Wikipedia:Cascadia Wikimedians User Group/Cascadia Culture Week 2020. This is an online event.

Celebrate Wikipedia at Cascadia Culture Week 2020 on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 from 5-6pm PDT! Wikipedia is a highly consulted free and open source of information. By using Wikipedia to share information on the people, places, history, and values of Cascadia, we present our culture to the world. In this talk we will consider what Wikipedia is, how anyone can edit Wikipedia to share information of general interest, and what media collections Wikipedia already has of interest to friends of Cascadia.

This event, including any active audience participation, will be video recorded and published for anyone to view later.
