Data Bomb Squad
This page is for informal brainstorming about Wikipedia related events and things at Nashville Public Library. Typically, this means organizing edit-a-thons at branches, but more importantly inspiring and helping each other.

What is Data Bomb Squad?
Data Bomb Squad is Wikipedians who are also NPL staffers (and our allies).

the meat & potatoes
The Superheroes edit-a-thon was good and bad. No one really showed (it was the Saturday of CMA) but it ended up being a good train the trainer day. We figured out tweaks to the Art+Feminism tutorial to make it better for a general audience. Then we worked on pop culture-related articles all day and agreed it would make for a good library program if we could get people to show.

For sure myself and/or MeganA-J or both will be hosting the next formal edit-a-thon in Sept / Oct based around Hispanic Heritage Month and/or Artober. We haven't decided yet. If you have thoughts please chime in. --Librarian Bryan (talk) 19:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
