Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Fordham/DigitalHumanities

• Bring your laptop: Editing Wikipedia is easier with a keyboard (if you don't have a laptop don't worry, the event will be in computer labs on campus). Also see [https://www.fordham.edu/info/20618/getting_online/1408/access_the_wifi_network/1 Access to the Fordham WiFi Network].
• Bring a published source to cite: Suggested books and papers will be available at the event. If you like, bring an academic paper or other reliable source of information to cite, to support your addition to Wikipedia. You will use Wikipedia to distribute information from this source. Try to bring the highest quality most reputable source you can find for the information.
• Create a Wikipedia account, if you do not have one already.
• If you wish, take Wikipedia's own 30-minute online training and tour at The Wikipedia Adventure.

Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website on earth (World Economic Forum), and the most-used encyclopedia ever. ^[7] (See the statistics page for more information.) A couple million people have written bits of it, but most of Wikipedia is written by tens of thousands of volunteers around the world. We start with a few edits, make mistakes, learn, and build up from there. You, can, too!

Thanks for coming today and helping the #WikiFordham initiative to celebrate the #DigitalHumanities. Today's mission: Add at least once sentence or other contribution to Wikipedia about a notable figures and events related to the topic of Information and Democracy.
