Club Updates[edit]
- Thank you to everyone that came to the Spanish & Portuguese Edit-a-thon last week! We saw an amazing by the turnout: over 60 students and faculty members showed up to translate articles on women from Spanish and Portuguese into English. Everyone did a fantastic job! A thank you to the event's main organizers, as well as the Wikipedia Connection members who showed up to help out.
- Wikipedia Asian Month 2016 has officially kicked off! Organized by our very own Addis Wang, Wikipedia Asian Month is a month-long online edit-a-thon where hundreds of editors from all around the world write thousands of articles on various Asian topics. Here in Columbus, we'll be hosting our own offline edit-a-thon to support the event. Join us at Wikipedia Connection's Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon 2016 on November 16th, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM in Thompson Library room 150A/B. If you plan on attending, please take a few moments to RSVP here!
Wikipedia Tidbit of the Day[edit]
There is an ongoing effort to create a number of Wikipedia articles that can be listened to instead of read. Many users can greatly benefit from this feature and there is a constant need for contributors.
