Welcome to Wikipedia Connection! We are a student organization from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and we are dedicated to exploring and contributing to Wikipedia. Our purpose is to serve as a resource for Ohio State students and staff interested in Wikipedia. We aim to explore how Wikipedia functions, and will provide guidance for those interested in editing Wikipedia (both inside the classroom and out). We hope to encourage Wikipedia editing through holding informational meetings, hosting collaborative projects, and supporting events that help Wikipedia grow. AboutAs a university organization, some of our main functions to the university include:

Translation Event
Wikipedia Connection is looking to host a Translate-a-Thon later this semester. In preparation for this, we are going to have an informational/demo session for OSU instructors who might want to participate in the Translate-a-Thon. We're in need of Wikipedia Connection members to provide technical help and Wikipedia expertise during this demo session.
The event is scheduled for tomorrow, November 6, at 12:00 in our normal meeting room. Please let us know if you're interested in helping out.
Meeting Information
Our next meeting is Thursday, November 8th, at 6:00 P.M. in Room 344 of the 18th Avenue Library (same time and place as last meeting). Per usual, pizza will be provided.
Meeting Topic
Unsourced material is a constant challenge for Wikipedia. Browse around for a few hours, and you'll almost surely see the infamous "citation needed" tag or a banner at the top of the page indicating that the article contains unsourced material. Fortunately, you can help! The Wikipedia Citation Hunt tool can help you find and remove or cite unsourced material.
