Agenda
The Nancy team has noticed holes in the Wiki-sphere where LGBTQ issues are concerned. This lack of information has served to indirectly skew and damage public outlook and understanding of these issues. Our objective is to see an increase in perspectives contributing to LGBTQ information on Wikipedia and to develop awareness of the knowledge gap online.

Please join at the start for a group orientation to editing Wikipedia. If you have schedule conflicts, join later, as this is a drop-in event and you can get support to edit Wikipedia whenever you arrive.
