American Archive of Public Broadcasting: Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

Join the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) and Wikipedia's official United States affiliates for a virtual edit-a-thon to help strengthen the quality of the world’s largest online encyclopedia and improve the searchability of historic public radio and television collections in the AAPB. As the first event in an on-going series, this edit-a-thon will cover how to create a Wikipedia user account and edit using common conventions.

The AAPB is a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH Educational Foundation in Boston that coordinates a national effort to preserve and make accessible historic public media programs and original materials created over the past 70+ years. More than 130 stations and originals producers have contributed media that documents America’s cultural, political and scientific history – and so much more.

Leading the edit-a-thon are Ariel Cetrone, Wikimedia DC's Institutional Partnerships Manager, and Ryn Marchese, AAPB Engagement and Use Manager. The event will focus on updating the Wikipedia records of AAPB Participating Organizations in order to include information about their contributed programs in the AAPB.

Wikimedia Affiliates

 * Wikimedia movement affiliates model


 * Chapters
 * Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC


 * Wikimedia thematic organizations
 * Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.


 * User groups
 * Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism
