No prior experience necessary! \nWikimedia NYC members will give a brief introduction to Wikidata\, current Wikidata projects and initiatives\, and how you can contribute to Wikidata. Fordham Library staff will give a quick demonstration of tools for querying Wikidata. \nWe will also look at ways to identify gaps in Wikipedia and improve coverage\, specifically in the areas of Computer Science\, and will do a brief\, live edit of an existing Wikipedia article on a computer scientist to help novice editors get started. A fun and easy way to celebrate Computer Science Education Week!

But in keeping with the spirit of the Edit-a-Thon movement\, we would like to take this opportunity to enrich Wikipedia with edits and articles about underrepresented groups and events in Fordham history. Along the way\, we will learn a lot about how to evaluate content in Wikipedia\, how Wikipedia works\, and best practices for contributing to the world’s largest crowd-sourced encyclopedia. \nAll skill levels are welcome — orientation and training will be provided for beginners\, and plenty of computers will be available for use. Don’t know much about Fordham’s history? Don’t let that stop you from participating–Fordham librarians will be on hand to help participants navigate print and electronic reference sources that can be used when updating and adding Fordham-related content in Wikipedia. \nSnacks and refreshments will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there! \nQuestions? Please contact tmendenhall@fordham.edu for more info. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, November 2\, 2016\, 12PM – 3PM\nWHERE: Walsh Library\, Room 044\, Rose Hill Campus URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/wikipedia-edit-a-thon-fordham-at-175/ LOCATION:Walsh Library\, Room 044\, 441 East Fordham Road\, Bronx\, NY\, 10458\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/EditAThon_optimized-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Timothy Mendenhall":MAILTO:tmendenhall@fordham.edu GEO:40.8620281;-73.8854257 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Walsh Library Room 044 441 East Fordham Road Bronx NY 10458 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=441 East Fordham Road:geo:-73.8854257,40.8620281 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
