The Boston area Media & Tech Edit-a-thon 2013 will be hosted by Wiki Strategies, Zombie I Scream, and EchoDitto on Saturday, January 5.
Whether you are brand new to Wikipedia, or a seasoned editor, you are welcome! There will be a workshop for beginners at 10am; the edit-a-thon will be from 11am to 3pm. We plan to focus on media and technology – and probably Zombies – but you are welcome to work on any wiki articles you like. |
