Derby 150 Edit-a-thon?
Is anyone up for an edit-a-thon to celebrate Derby 150? Here's a few ideas I have about doing this:
- Run it during the Kentucky Derby Festival – April 20 (Thunder Over Louisville) through May 4/5 (Derby Weekend)
- The work would be focused in 3 areas, from highest to lowest priority:
- Improving and creating Derby-related articles
- Cleaning up known issues in WP Louisville and WP Kentucky articles (there are thousands!)
- Generally improving and/or creating articles within these projects
- As there is international interest in the Derby, especially this one, this could be fortuitous timing for our needs. It would make good sense to inform the entire Wiki community about it.
Thoughts? There's not a lot of time to organize it, but I think it's doable. We could create a one-pager for the event, perhaps hostable in WP Louisville. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 06:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- I just added some thoughts on what to do in this same topic in WT:WikiProject Louisville. Let's concentrate the discussion there. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 07:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Old Issues
For the sake of the WP:DERBY150 drive I'm putting together and beyond, I created a list of WP Kentucky's issues that are over a decade old. This currently shows included articles that had tags placed on them from 2006 to 2013. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 04:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
