This Edit-athon is an event aimed at sharing the expertise of real-world cultural institutions with our wiki-expertise. We'll be able to access the resources of the British Library, guided by the expertise of its curators, with the joint aim of improving the content on Wikipedia that is relevant to the British Library's collections.
We've chosen to run the event on Wikipedia's 10th birthday deliberately - this is an opportunity to celebrate Wikipedia's birthday with other Wikipedians, and to spend the day improving Wikipedia's content. We'll also be celebrating in the pub in the evenings.
The event will run between 09:30 and 17:00 each day. Curators will be available on the Friday, but not the Saturday.
First come, first served! Registration for this event is mandatory, as we need to arrange for visitor passes. The deadline for signing up is 12:00 midday on the 12th January.
