[edit]- We hope you had a great Thanksgiving Break! Good luck during these last few weeks of the semester.
- Our hearts go out to the victims of the 2016 Ohio State University attack, and we are grateful for all the emergency responders. #BuckeyeStrong
- A big thank you to everyone that attended our Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon on the 16th. Participants improved over 20 articles across two language editions of Wikipedia. Over 60 edits were made, with 2,700+ words added. Great job everyone!
- Interested in our "Wikipedia in Your Next Project" slides from our Open Source Club Presentation? Check them out here.
- It's #GivingTuesday! Today is a great day to donate to some of the initiatives, projects, and organizations that you support. We hope that one of those organizations is the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind Wikipedia. The Foundation keeps the lights on for Wikipedia and its sister projects, as well as funds projects, initiatives, and groups like ours. If you're interested in donating, please visit here. Of course, monetary donations aren't the only way to contribute; the edits you make to Wikimedia projects are just as valuable!
