Led by Mary Mark Ockerbloom, Wikipedian in Residence at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. 11 AM. Mary will go over topics including Wikipedia culture, the writing style of Wikipedia, and nuts-and-bolts how-tos.
The Edit-a-thon is open to all, and attendees are welcome to bring their own interests and data for entry in Wikipedia. Attendees who do not bring data of their own are invited to use the biographical and other information resources gathered by the Colored Conventions project, which covers a neglected, critical period of African-American history. The biographical information about historically important men and women of color could help to fill the current deficit of such information on Wikipedia.
Please add [[Category:Colored Conventions]] to any page you create from this list.
