WVU Libraries will wrap up its third annual “Amplifying Appalachia” Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon with an in-person editing session from 1-5 p.m. Thursday (March 30) on the second floor of the Downtown Library.
The month-long initiative began with volunteers working on their own schedules to revise content on Wikipedia posts and will conclude on March 31.
Over the last two years, the event has attracted more than 140 volunteer editors. Together, they added more than 41,000 words and more than 400 references, improving the quality of Wikipedia pages about underrepresented Appalachian creators and related topics.
Those interested in participating can visit this libguide for more information, including details on how to register for the event.
