Action=History: Sunday Hackathons @ Ace Hotel

On the last Sunday of every month from 2-6pm, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

Join us on Sunday March 25, 2018 for a Wikipedia hackathon to develop tools for contributing content Wikipedia and user-testing them with the community.

Join Wikimedia NYC as we celebrate WikiWomen's History Month with a Wikidata workshop and edit-a-thon! Wikidata is the newest project of the Wikimedia Foundation, connecting Wikipedia using linked open data. In this workshop, attendees will learn how Wikidata is being used by libraries, archives, and museums, and get a chance to do some hands-on editing as we create entries for woman identified artists and their works.

Please bring your laptop and your questions!
