Learn to edit and contribute to Wikipedia in a room once occupied by President Abraham Lincoln!
With the help of experienced Wikipedians, attendees will learn to edit and contribute to Wikipedia articles. We will improve articles that address the concept of citizenship during The Civil War (See work list below). This event will be held at President Lincoln's Cottage on the anniversary of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The event's theme is inspired by the Cottage's current exhibition, American by Belief.
