Virtual editathon

You are cordially invited to join the

Paralympics. The edit-a-thon will be facilitated by Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
, a prolific Wikipedia editor. Special guests will be at the LA84 Foundation headquarters for the edit-a-thon, including Renata Simril, President and CEO of the LA84 Foundation, who will give welcoming remarks. You will also have the opportunity to meet Olympians and Paralympians!

More information:

  • No experience is necessary – training will be provided – and everyone is welcome.
  • Wikipedia facilitators will be on hand to teach best practices for creating entries, or improving current entries.
  • No previous knowledge of women Olympians and Paralympians is necessary – our researchers have already identified a long list of names of people not currently in Wikipedia.
  • LA84 Foundation librarians and archivists will be on hand to offer research assistance, including showing how to use the LA84.org digital library.
  • Complimentary food and drinks will be served, courtesy of the Wikimedia Foundation.
  • A deejay will be spinning.
  • Kids are welcome to come hang out – we have couches and bean bags and table tennis and foosball.
  • Bring your own laptop and power source.

  4. Trackinfo (talk) 17:25, 2 September 2017 (UTC) I am hoping to make an appearance, late. 5:45 is about the worst time to try to get to that neighborhood. I've written a great deal about Olympians and the Olympics. In case I do not make it when the celebrity subjects are present, please, somebody get out a camera and take pictures we can use in the articles.[reply]
