Hi Wiki-Yorkers,

Join us for an evening of social Wikipedia editing in MoMA's library,
during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles
pertaining to LGBT art, culture and history.

Time and Place:

Wednesday, June 29, 2016
6:00 PM to 8:30 PM
MoMA Reseach and Education Center
4 West 54th Street, New York, NY

Wiki Loves Pride is a global campaign to expand and improve LGBT-related
content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. The activities of
Wiki Loves Pride are focused on June, traditionally a month when lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities around the world
celebrate LGBT culture and history. We invite you to participate in a
series of edit-a-thons and photography campaigns to help improve
Wikipedia's coverage of LGBT-related content.

Also featuring a lightning talk by CUNY students at the La Guardia and
Wagner Archives in a project to document local 1980s HIV/AIDS activism on
Wikipedia.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia
editing experience required. A brief overview of the basics of Wikipedia
editing will be given at the start of the edit-a-thon. Please bring your
laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of
suggested topics on hand.

Thanks,
