User talk:Agarma

Welcome!
Hello, Agarma, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit-a-thon invitation
Hi there! As a U of A student who has worked with Wikipedia in class, you may be interested in this event coming up at MacEwen on March 5:

You may have heard that Wikipedia has a serious gender problem: the majority of editors on the site are men (mostly white men) and there are significantly fewer articles about women and nonbinary folks on the site than men. As you can imagine, this means that the world reflected through Wikipedia, the world's most visited reference site, is biased and inaccurate. The good news is: you can help fix this, and it's easy!

On March 5 from 2 to 8 p.m., the University of Alberta Library and MacEwan University are partnering to run an Art + Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon at MacEwan's new Allard Hall. Come for 10 minutes or a few hours -- it's quick to learn and you can make an impact with just one little edit!

There will be friendly people, yummy food, a tour of the Mitchell Art Gallery, and a panel to end the day. RSVP and share on Facebook. Feel free to get in touch with me if you need more information!
