Wikipedia:Meetup/Columbus/OSU Center for Ethnic Studies Edit-a-thon 2023

Ohio State's Center for Ethnic Studies and The Humanities Institute is sponsoring an edit-a-thon on March 31, 2023, with support from the Ohio Wikimedians! Participants will have a chance to dive in and contribute to Wikipedia, especially in topics related to Asian American Studies, American Indian Studies, and Latinx Studies, as well as other articles pertaining to ethnicity. No prior Wikipedia editing experience is necessary.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP here. Also see the OSU event page for more details.

Pizza and refreshments will be served. Please bring a laptop with you.

Articles to Improve
Please see below the articles that can be improved or created during this Edit-a-thon. Feel free to add more to the list!

If you'd like to work on a draft copy before publishing it live, you can prepend "Draft:" to the title (e.g. to create a draft for Aline Mello, create Draft:Aline Mello).

We recommend saving often as you edit so you don't lose any work!
