Club Updates

[edit]
  • Welcome back to campus - we hope everyone had a great Spring Break!
  • Today's workshop will be taking place in Room 070 of the 18th Avenue Library, instead of our usual spot in the Research Commons. Next week we will be back in the Research Commons.
  • Our next large event will be this year's 'Wikipedia Takes Columbus' photograph event - stay tuned for more details.
  • We're participating in The 50,000 Challenge! The aim is to make 50,000 article improvements and creations for the United States, and we're only ~2.55% done. Be sure to sign up if you're interested.

Wikipedia Tidbit of the Day

The WikiCup is an annual championship where editors compete to contribute the most content they can.
The event has been occurring since 2007, and currently lasts for most of the year.
