You are invited! An Art+Feminism Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Misplaced Pages is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Misplaced Pages and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Misplaced Pages editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Misplaced Pages. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
