Disability Pride Month Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
The disabled community is underrepresented on Wikipedia, and YOU can make a difference by participating in our Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon.
Join us at 12:30 PM for a brief lesson on editing Wikipedia. Stay for the remainder of the event and help to improve and create Wikipedia articles related to disability.
This event is presented by ODU Department of Women's Studies, ODU Libraries and Wikimedia DC.
