The Yale Art+Feminism Wikipedia Training and Edit-a-thon will take place in the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library on the evening of March 4, 2016. This year's event is open to members of the Yale community.
While you are working on an article use #NowEditingAF to tell others what article you’re working on. For example, "Working on the entry for Lorraine O'Grady #NowEditingAF"
Here is some information to help you set goals for what you would like to accomplish during the event.
