File:NYU Latinx Intervention event.jpg

Wikipedia edit-a-thons have emerged as a powerful tool for communities that are underserved by the lack of diversity among Wikipedia content editors—the Latinx community being no exception. This “Latinx intervention”—a collaboration between NYU Libraries and the Latinx Project at NYU, with support from Wikimedia NYC—will train you to create and edit Wikipedia entries. Laptops will be available, but you are encouraged to bring your own, as well an idea for a non-existent or underdeveloped Wikipedia entry. Refreshments will be served. All experience levels welcome!

To come prepared, you can create an account ahead of time here: Create a Wikipedia Editor Account. (Pseudonyms are encouraged, as is an email for password recovery.) Volunteers will also be available onsite and happy to help you create an account.

Children are welcome. Snacks and activities will be available, but no formal supervision will be provided.

For more information on the Latinx Project at NYU, visit: https://wp.nyu.edu/latinxproject/

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct.

Research Resources

A selection of print books will be available on site at the event

Consider Open Access Week and the 2019 theme, "open for whom?" At this event reflect on when sources are and are not available, who can access them, and which sorts of sources are likely to be open.
