(Psst, there's a training event for folks new to editing to Wikipedia on October 2nd! Learn more and register for that session here: http://bit.ly/2KtnOuK)

Wikipedia is the largest, most popular online reference work, covering all areas of history and contemporary life. However, both the topics it covers and the people who edit its articles don’t reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ community. In honor of LGBTQ History Month, join us for an LGBTQ Wikipedia Edit-a-thon! Together we’ll improve representation of LGBTQ people, events, and topics in Wikipedia.

Why:
Most Wikipedia editors are straight, cis, white men. Let's change that.
Most Wikipedia articles are about straight, cis, white men. Let's change that.

Who should attend:
LGBTQ folx and allies; anyone interested in improving LGBTQ representation in Wikipedia

Please bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. If you're new to editing or have no ideas in mind, we can help get you started!

Gender-inclusive restrooms are on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors of Hatcher South
