[edit]- NIOSH edit-a-thon
- Our edit-a-thon at the NIOSH labs in Cincinnati, OH this past Thursday was a great success. Members worked with NIOSH scientists to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics such as 3D Printing, Dustiness, and Nanotechnology.
- We would like to give special thanks to John Sadowski and everyone else at NIOSH who helped to make this event possible.
- UN edit-a-thon
- This past week, we also had our UN edit-a-thon.
- Thank you to all members who participated!
Wikipedia Tidbit of the Day
[edit]Wikidata is a project aimed at making a machine-readable database of knowledge analogous to the human-readable database that is Wikipedia. Information in Wikidata can be searched easily by various properties. You can access Wikidata via its main page [1] or jump to a specific entry by clicking the "Wikidata item" link under "Tools" on the sidebar next to any Wikipedia article.
