Wikipedia:GLAM/Humanists UK/Events/Banned Books Week

About the event
In honour of Banned Books Week, this Wikithon will focus on improving the representation of humanists, atheists, and secularists in the history of literary and press freedom.

Drawing on Humanists UK’s Humanist Heritage project, we will create, edit, and add to Wikipedia entries relating to press freedom, highlighting the contributions of humanists and freethinkers. Learn more about the fascinating history of campaigns for press freedom whilst developing your digital skills and learning how to edit Wikipedia.

Both beginners and more experienced editors are welcome to join in.
