Fine Art Edit-a-Thon edit

  • Saturday, December 17, 2011

The Fine Art Edit-a-Thon will be an opportunity to encourage Wikipedians of all experience levels to work together and independently to document artists and artwork related to the Federal Art Project, specifically subjects related to the Archives of American Art's recent image contribution on Commons.

  • Check out this "to-do" list of article suggestions: Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 26/To-do list
  • Resources from the MLK Library will be utilized as well as online resources.
  • You don't have to be a Wikipedian to help crop and clean up images for use in articles!
  • Contribute to existing articles or write new articles in whatever language.
  • Help your fellow contributors out - lend a hand when needed and help out new editors!
  • Even if you don't feel like writing about art, we welcome you to come.

This will be a great chance to bring a friend and share with them your love for editing. Wikipedians of all experience levels welcome.

Meetup edit

After the Fine Art Edit-a-Thon a Meetup will be held at the Irish Channel Pub located just a few blocks away from the library in the Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Attendees to the Meetup do not have to attend the Edit-a-Thon!
