Have you ever thought about becoming a Wikipedia editor? The FIMS Graduate Library is hosting a monthly Wikipedia meetup focused on the overlapping connection between information professionals – librarians, journalist, media providers – and Wikipedia editorship. Wikipedia is one of the top visited websites in Canada, and it is the only non-profit website in that group. It is the largest, most widely used open encyclopedia. Through this club, you will learn how to contribute to Wikipedia so that you can improve the information in its articles.
At WikiClub –
- Engage in conversations about Wikipedia and its place within the wider open information ecosystem.
- Learn how to edit Wikipedia.
- Act to improve the verifiability, accuracy, and completeness of open information on Wikipedia.
The library will be serving food and refreshments provided through a Wikimedia Canada grant. We hope to see you there!
When: Third Monday of the month at noon
(September 16th, October, 21st, November 18th, December 16th)
Where: FIMS Graduate Library – 3020 D/E
