Event information

  • Date: April 4, 2017
  • Time: 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm (PST) / 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm (EDT)
  • Location: UBC Buchanan B-126, Vancouver & Concordia University, Montreal - Room FB 250, Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema. This event takes place on the traditional, unceded, occupied territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) & the Haudenosaunee.
  • Participants: The FMST 620 (Global Indigenous Cinema and Media) Concordia class, along with UBC courses FNIS 401T (Indigenous Theatre and Film), FIPR 436B (Documentary Production), students from UBC and the public. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers as needed throughout the event. There are PC workstations at the UBC site, but please bring a laptop with you if you like! At Concordia, we'll all need to bring laptops.
  • Organizing departments: Film at UBC, Theatre at UBC, First Nations & Indigenous Studies (UBC) & Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (Concordia)
  • Description:This event is an edit-a-thon to create, revise and add to entries on Wikipedia for Indigenous storytellers, specifically those working in film and theatre and situated in the country known as Canada.
  • Before the event: Please select a minimum of THREE entries that interest you from the two lists below (Articles in draft and/or Articles needing expansion), and do some background research to find good sources/information to include on each page during our edit-a-thon. Doing this research prior to our event will help get things moving, so that we can spend our time during the workshop editing (rather than gathering sources). Remember that entries in Wikipedia must be about notable people/organizations, and must have good sources to verify this. Your entries must be neutral, establish notability, and must not be copy-pasted verbatim from another source.

What can I work on?

The theme for this edit-a-thon is Indigenous Storytellers, specifically in film and theatre, in the Canadian context. There are a number of ways you can contribute to Wikipedia . You can create or enhance Wikipedia articles, add external links, verify and update citations, provide resources to help those writing articles, and assist with research.

Articles in need of creation
