Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Archtober

On October 27 to celebrate Archtober, NYC’s architecture and desgin month, Bard Graduate Center, Wikimedia NYC, Architexx, the AIA’s Women in Architecture and Diversity and Inclusion Committees will host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to address the lack of entries on Wikipedia about contributions by women, LGBTQI communities, and artists of color to the fields of architecture and design history. The event, which will take place on Saturday, October 27 from 12–4 pm at the Bard Graduate Center, is designed to improve coverage of the arts on Wikipedia.

The edit-a-thon will include tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, ongoing editing support, reference materials, and refreshments. No prior Wikipedia experience required but we do encourage attendees to bring a laptop if possible.
