University of Maryland: Punk Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Bad Brains at Nightclub 9:30, Washington, DC, 1983

Join us to explore D.C. punk-related materials and improve Wikipedia's content on the topic by editing and creating articles about this genre and subculture. We'll kick things off with pizza and training provided for new Wikipedia editors. Laptops strongly encouraged; a limited number of library laptops available for those without.

Wikimedia movement affiliates model
Chapters
Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC
Wikimedia thematic organizations
Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.
User groups
Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism
