Club Updates

[edit]
  • Thank you to everyone that came to our Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon on Friday! 34 participants made over 100 edits to 28 articles, including the creation of 11 articles and 5 drafts. For just a few hours of editing, this is fantastic. For a detailed breakdown of our outcomes, see our event page. We also have a post-event survey that we would appreciate participants fill out so we can improve our events in the future.
  • At our workshop tonight, we will go over the results of our Art+Feminism 2017 Edit-a-thon, and continue to improve any drafts and articles created during the event.
  • We're participating in The 50,000 Challenge! The aim is to make 50,000 article improvements and creations for the United States. In particular, Wikipedia Connection will be aiming to improve articles related to Ohio. Be sure to sign up if you're interested.
