Anyone can edit Wikipedia, there will be a tutorial between 11:30 and 12:00 and we’ll have experienced editors on site to help people learn the ropes.

List of articles to edit/create

Notability may be difficult on the below. Adding information to an existing article may be easier. Do some research and get creative! Maybe add something to the architect or the cities page. Or go even more abstract and add information/images to a more general article.

=Notability=

Wikipedia has inclusion criteria, and not every building (or entity) impacted by the wildfires will meet it. To ensure publication, confirm that the subject of the article you plan to write will meet the notability requirements. See WP:Building Notability, WP:Notability_(events), WP:Businesses with a single location and WP:Notability for the specifics.
