The Depths of Wikipedia Climate Solutions Editathon! edit
Wikimedia New York City, Depths of Wikipedia, and Earth Alliance are hosting an editathon at Prime Produce to improve Wikipedia's coverage of climate crisis solutions! Wikipedia is a critical source of climate information worldwide, so it's crucial to update articles with the latest science. At this event, you'll contribute directly to the articles people rely on. No experience editing Wikipedia is required! We'll help you!
Space is limited, so we're asking everyone to RSVP, and to please show up if you sign up. Subject matter expertise is a plus, but also not required. All you need to bring is a laptop. There will be free pizza, and there's a full cafe connected to the space. Bring a laptop if you can.
