Club Updates
edit- Our first edit-a-thon of the semester is tomorrow. Join us as we recognize United Nations Day by improving Wikipedia articles on the United Nations programs, history, and countries.
- We have a new logo, as seen below! It is based off the Wikimedia Community Logo, which is commonly used to represent various Wikimedia groups.
- We're excited to see our first edit-a-thon here on Ohio State's campus that isn't hosted by Wikipedia Connection! The Spanish & Portuguese Edit-a-thon happens November 2nd, with the goal of translating Wikipedia articles from Spanish and Portuguese into English. Wikipedia Connection is pleased to be a supporter of the event, and we welcome our members to both participate and help facilitate the event.
