| Bay Area WikiSalon series | ||

 |
Periodically, on a last Wednesday evening of the month, wiki and open-source enthusiasts meet up to mingle, munch, collaborate or learn about new projects and ideas. At each WikiSalon we plan a brief formal presentation; some will help orient people new to the wiki/open-source world, with others geared to more experienced people. Many presentations will have broad appeal to non-wiki/non-open-source folks. We hope you will join us! Note: We are extremely inclusive – broadly construed – plus we adhere to the friendly place policies of the Wikimedia Foundation.

For our July Bay Area WikiSalon, we will head to Noisebridge, a hacker space in San Francisco's Mission district, and work on Wikipedia's coverage of basic income. Please join us for the edit-a-thon, or just to hang out, snack, and talk wiki.
Wikipedia's basic income page is the first resource many people will see for this policy idea, but it's a mess right now. There are neutrality issues, citations missing, key events unmentioned, overly verbose writing, confusing organization: on and on and on. Whether you are a Wikipedia expert, an economic policy expert, or new to both, there's plenty to discuss and plenty to do. Often, fresh eyes are very helpful in figuring out how to express a topic to a general audience. So come help us fix this important article!
Sponsors edit
Wiki Strategies, Ben Creasy, Stephen Laporte and Wayne Calhoon will provide food and beverages. Everybody is always welcome to bring food and/or an adult beverage for themselves or to share. John Shutt will help set things up at Noisebridge.
