Hello all, if you are reading this page, it is probably because you are participating in the Rice University Queer Resource Center's Edit-a-Thon! So, congratulations to you for working to make a change in the coverage of queer issues on Wikipedia! I have made this page to compile some resources for you, including pages to work on, how to do that work, good sources, AND a fun banner to add to an article's talk page to commemorate that it was improved during this event. All the best to all of you!
