WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: She/They Edition




 * Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that you can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries. As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many individuals looking to learn about art, history, and science.


 * During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the history of women/non-binary/transgender people of Asian American and Pacific Islanders heritage in the United States.


 * This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.
