There will be a Wikipedia edit-a-thon at Chapel Hill Public Library, 100 Library Drive, Chapel Hill, on Monday, October 28th, 2019, from 6 pm. to 8 p.m.
At the event, participants will create and improve Wikipedia articles about Chapel Hill’s history, culture, people, and places.
The event is part of the Chapel Hill 1819/2019 project, and is presented by the Chapel Hill Public Library and the University Libraries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The event is free and open to the public.
No special knowledge or Wikipedia editing experience is required. The library will provide a brief workshop on the basics of Wikipedia editing at the start of the event. They’ll also have suggested resources and topics on hand.
Background: On November 20, 1819, the General Assembly of North Carolina established government in the Town of Chapel Hill by appointing its first Commissioners. Two hundred years later, in the fall of 2019, we celebrate the agencies, organizations, peoples, and places that have made Chapel Hill the community it is today.
