Why Attend?
Wikipedia is built by people like you. By adding references, you help ensure that knowledge remains verifiable, trustworthy, and accessible to everyone. Plus, you’ll get to celebrate with cake and connect with fellow knowledge enthusiasts.
We will recognize the top three contributors who add the most citations by February 5th, and each will receive an additional prize.
