Afternoon,

I'm a librarian at Fort Lewis College. I've held edit-a-thons for Art+Feminism 
and worked with Wiki Education in classes. Our marketing department has asked 
about editing the Fort Lewis 
College<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lewis_College> page. I know that 
faculty and staff affiliated with the college can't edit due to conflict of 
interest and neutrality, which I of course told them. We currently have a 
committee on campus that is working on our history as an Indian boarding 
school. There are students on that committee and they are very interested in 
contributing to rewriting our history and making public contributions.

Is it also a conflict of interest/goes against the pillar of neutrality to hold 
an editathon or other event where students have the option of editing the Fort 
Lewis College page to include boarding school history or even create a new page 
together for the boarding school? We do have a Native American Center on campus 
that is not funded through the college who could host this event, if that makes 
a difference for conflict of interest/neutrality.

Many thanks

Cheers.
