Preparation and participation: Watch this video to learn just how to edit Wikipedia. Be sure to set aside some time for this video as it’s an hour long. (Although, we will provide editing help at the edit-a-thon, if you don’t have time to do this.)

Even if you can’t make it to one of our physical locations on the day of the edit-a-thon, you can participate virtually – use the hashtag #tooFEW to let us know you’re out there and to ask questions the day of.

Contribute to the world's most popular encyclopedia! In conjunction with THATCamp Feminisms and WikiWomen's History Month, several schools around the country are hosting a simultaneous Wikipedia edit-a-thon to improve the coverage of women, women's history, and feminism on Wikipedia. Join us! Anyone with an interest in editing collaboratively and having a great time is encouraged to attend.
