SUMMARY:Black History Month: Wikipedia Editing - Kickoff and Training
DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia is one of the most heavily used reference websites in 
 the world. It is important as a freely available information source\, but 
 isn't without problems\, including gaps in representation largely due to 
 systemic bias. \n\nTimed during International Love Data Week and Black 
 History Month\, our focus for the drop-in editing sessions will be on 
 improving coverage of Black histories.\n\n\n	The connections between 
 Wikipedia and data science #lovedata are primarily established through 
 Wikidata\, structured data integration\, and of course the collaborative 
 nature of Wikipedia itself. \n	The 2024 theme for Black History Month is 
 African Americans and the Arts\, which may help you as you brainstorm 
 editing ideas.You can come with ideas of themes and we'll provide some 
 suggestions as well. \n\n\nNo experience is needed. We will offer 
 training\, reference materials\, and snacks for those who attend in-person. 
 Just bring your laptop or tablet. (We'll have a few laptops on hand that 
 people can borrow as well.)\n\nKickoff and Training\n\n\n	Thursday\, 
 February 15\n	12:40 - 2:00 p.m.  \n	Hybrid format: Dimond Library Room 421 
 or on Zoom \n\n\nThe kickoff and training will focus on reasons for 
 editing\, guidelines for Wikipedia\, how to create citations\, using a 
 sandbox as you start\, and more. \n\nDrop-in group editing 
 sessions\n\n\n	Tuesday\, February 20 from 12:40 - 2:00 pm \n	Friday\, 
 February 23 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm\n	Thursday\, February 29 from 12:40 - 2:00 
 pm\n\n\nAll the drop-ins will be in hybrid format: Dimond Library Room 421 
 or on Zoom. Bring your questions to the drop-in sessions\, we'll have 
 people who can help.\n\nHow to prepare\n\n\n	Create an account (you can get 
 help at the kickoff if you need it)\n\n	\n		See the Why create an account? 
 article to learn more about account creation.\n	\n	\n	Once you have an 
 account\, you can join the Wikipedia event dashboard and track your edits 
 and contributions to this campaign. The event dashboard will remain open 
 through Thursday\, February 29 if you want to edit outside of the group 
 editing drop-ins.\n
