Faculty: Tim Dewysockie, Library Application Support Specialist, and Dan Kipnis, STEM Librarian

Rowan University Libraries is partnering with History, English, Center for Digital Humanities Research, and Women's and Gender Studies faculty to host a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

Facilitators will introduce the basics of Wikipedia editing, followed by hands-on editing. During that time the facilitators will also be available to help. Participants can also continue editing online throughout the month, and the facilitators will continue be available throughout the month to help. There are three sessions, and an introduction will be provided at the beginning of each. Feel free to attend any or all sessions!

There are numerous ways to contribute to Wikipedia, including adding citations to a select article, making small or substantial edits to an article, or even creating a new article on an overlooked topic, issue, event, or person.

No experience is necessary. Stay as long as you like during the live session, or participate after virtually!

Wikipedia can be edited in guest mode or using an account you create. If you plan on creating a Wikipedia account (which is required for advanced features like creating new Wikipedia pages), create it in advance. You may wish to use a pseudonym for your account, rather than your real name.
