![]() Wikimedia UK and National Railway Museum jointly organised an editathon focusing on Railways, kindly hosted by the National Railway Museum in York on 19 October 2013. The day included some article editing, a backstage pass tour of their library and archives. One of their curators joined us to answer questions. The aim of the event was to improve the coverage of Wikipedia articles related to Railways and steam engines. Participants were free, however, to request info on other aspects of their collection. As well as subject expertise, the NRM were able to provide WiFi and a room for Wikimedians, and have very kindly agreed to donate refreshments.
