Peabody Essex Museum Edit-a-thon on May 3
Hi Elizabeth,
We're excited to see you at the Peabody Essex Museum on Saturday for our very-first Wikipedia edit-a-thon!
As one of the more experienced editors coming to the event, I was wondering if you could help us introduce new editors to all the how-to's of Wikipedia. It's looking like there will be a lot of first-time editors there (both PEM staff and outside editors). I'm sure that they will have lots of questions about how Wikipedia works, creating new articles, etc., and it would be great if you could help support them during the editing session in the afternoon and answer any questions they may have.
In the morning we'll be hosting a "Wiki 101" session to introduce new editors to Wikipedia. This will cover how Wikipedia works, the goals of Wikipedia, and some basics of getting set up with an account and creating/editing an article. Would you be willing to help us lead this session? If so let Ed Rodley or myself know. We'd really love to have your help!
Either way, I hope we can rely on you all to help out the new editors during the afternoon.
Looking forward to meeting you, Cathy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathypem (talk • contribs) 23:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

|---|---|
 As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:
We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
