Wikipedia:Meetup/PSU EquityintheOutdoors

Penn State University Libraries and Campus Recreation Outdoor Adventures will be sponsoring a semester-long Edit-a-thon. Our goal is to increase representation of marginalized groups in the outdoors (including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and differently abled people). We will be hosting events throughout the semester to increase diversity in page content and contribution. To accomplish that goal, you can help in many ways; you can create entirely new pages, re-vamp existing pages, or help proof-read pages! On this page, you'll find some information to help you set up a Wikipedia account and master the basics of page creation/editing. Also on this page, you can find inspiration for creation/editing. It's important to remember that every little bit helps, so don't feel too overwhelmed by the thought of creating a whole new page.
