'''Activity''' – We plan to hold a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon (our first) in the second half of June (date TBC). The tentative event schedule is as follows: * Set-up (30 min) * Introductory Wikipedia training, Q+A (30 min) * Edit-a-thon (2 hours) * Sharing session, wrap up (30 min) Participants will be asked to create a Wikipedia account prior to the event and bring their own computers. Because the venue does not have on-site research materials, the training session will introduce participants to online resources such as the Internet Archive. We will abide by the Universal Code of Conduct, Friendly Space Policy, and Event Ban Policy. Mask4Mask Queers Hfx's goal is to create safer spaces that are free from discrimination and oppression. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has gender-neutral bathrooms. Masks will be required at the event, and the venue will be well ventilated. '''Expected impact''' * Introduction of new and inexperienced editors to: ** the fundamentals of Wikipedia editing and policies ** online research resources such as the Internet Archive ** resources available from Halifax institutions such as the public library and archives ** Wikimedia Commons * Improvement of the quality of the Wikipedia articles edited * Improved representation of the queer community on Wikipedia == List of participants == ''Indicate here the list of participants that will incur expenses for this activity; you do not need to list all participants that will take part in the activity.
