Come join us in an exciting Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon event! We will be gathering to edit Wikipedia content related to the subject of Human Origins and the Smithsonian's research and initiatives in this field. The event will begin with a private, before-hours tour of the Smithsonian's Hall of Human Origins. We will then do a brief tutorial on how to edit and create content on Wikipedia for new editors, before diving into the editing! Lunch will be graciously provided by Wikimedia DC.
Space is restricted to 20 attendees, so sign up today!
