The University of Virginia Library is hosting "Surfacing Black Life in Charlottesville", public Wikipedia event for students and faculty to have fun while also sharing information from historic African American newspapers. Wikipedia has been a popular source of information for a generation and continues to influence thought in all fields. By sharing information in Wikipedia we make information accessible to others and track it popularity. Come to socialize, share snacks, and to publish information that people will read. Feel free to ask any questions you have ever had about the encyclopedia.
Create a Wikimedia account if you do not have one.
This event includes wiki editing. The orientation at the start of the event is open to anyone who wants an introduction to Wikimedia projects and will be interesting even to people who are unable to join the editing workshop which follows.
The minimum target goal for participants in the editing workshop is the following:
Doing this much will leave participants with insight into how Wikimedia projects work. The theme of this editing event is "black life in Charlottesville" and recommended articles to develop are below.
This project does not have any on-topic Wikisource content queued for engagement. To experiment, edit a page in the Wikisource community's current collaboration.
