Wikipedia Goes to the Movies was an edit-a-thon, Wikipedia meet-up and workshop that was held on Saturday, December 1, 2012, at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, as part of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries global campaign, as a direct successor to last year's smash hit Wikipedia:The Musical.
- Address: 40 Lincoln Center Plaza (64th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam avenues). Directions: Go towards the back of the plaza, around to the right of the Met opera house and just left of the Vivian Beaumont Theatre.
- Phone: (917) 275-6975
- Time: Noon - 5 p.m.
- Room: The Reserve Film & Video Screening Room on the Third Floor
The goal was to improve Wikipedia articles and content related to WikiProject Film - or any article that could use library resources.
