Luiza, Yes! Great initiative. Do look the Research Commons if you're still
in a exploratory stage for securing the location. The librarians we've
worked with are unfortunately gone. We've hosted a few events there in the
past and Wikipedia editing synchronizes well with the goals of the RC
specifically. Moreover, they've got great flex spaces, equipment, and lots
of plug-ins. In fact, you might be able to reserve one of the classrooms or
areas yourself on the RC homepage.

Having a list of things to work on during the event, and handy materials
for people to use, will definitely help make the event a success. That, and
lots of publicity. It's worth making a few personalized invitations to
folks you think would be really great and will recruit their friends. Food,
too!

Do you plan to have a learn to edit session for newcomers?

Hi Lane,
I'm waiting for Odegaard Library at UW to confirm if they can host us - I
do not know when I'll hear back from them. I've been talking to Indigenous
scholars and scholars of Indigenous art to come up with a preliminary list
of names and topics relating to Indigenous women artists that need editing
so I can start researching and collecting reference materials on them.
Thanks for the help,

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

I expect that different people can contribute different parts of this, but
to start, are you able to secure a location? When do you expect to confirm
one?

You say that you are a library student. It helps at these events if someone
is able to bring curated information to the event which would be good to
share, like books or articles which can be cited. Are you able to collect a
few books and papers to recommend for people who need source information to
develop articles? If you can do that, then that firms up the theme of the
event.

Thanks for speaking up.

yours,
