Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/RelinkingWH

Schedule

 * We'll offer training only if new people come who need it.
 * Our plan is to review sets of pages on English Wikipedia that refer to the whitehouse.gov site and see if the links work right, and if not to make a wise substitution.
 * We also would like to understand why different searches are giving different numbers of such links.

FAQ

 * Do I have to be a Wikipedia editor already? No, this event is open to everyone, even beginners.
 * What happens if I get hungry? We might have snacks.
 * What should I bring? A laptop computer
 * Can I leave early? Sure, we don't lock anyone in.
