Join us for another Art Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the OCAD U Library!

Open to everyone

3pm-3:30pm - Tutorial

3:30pm-6:45pm - 1-on-1 help and working together

This event continues the work of the Art Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon, which added more than 100 women artists to Wikipedia. With access to OCAD U librarys books and article databases, you are invited to help continue adding and editing entries for women artists, particularly Canadian and First Nations artists, and artists from the OCAD community.

All are welcome, regardless of level of experience. A beginners Wikipedia tutorial will take place from 3pm-3:30pm and more experienced editors will be available for 1-on-1 help throughout the event. No preparation is necessary, but we encourage participants to bring a laptop, and to create a Wikipedia account before the event, as there is a limit to how many accounts can be created from one IP address. It is easy to do and instructions are here.
