Wikipedia:Meetup/Stillwater/Summer 2015

The Edmon Low Library at Oklahoma State University is hosting its second Edit-A-Thon, focusing on creating new pages that feature Oklahoma State University buildings. The goal for this event is to create new content that brings visibility to these historical and existing landmarks that make up the OSU campus. These initial pages will only be improved over time, thanks to the extensive network of Wikipedia editors.
