Black History Month Wikidata + Comics Edit-a-thon for and International Love Data Week

[Matthew Murray]

Hello all,

 

I wanted to let you know about our Black History Month Wikidata + Comics Edit-a-thon happening next month as part of the Libraries’ Love Data Week series of events.

 

You’ve heard of Wikipedia, but do you know about Wikidata? This workshop will teach what Wikidata is and how you can access and use the information it contains as part of your research. You’ll also learn how to add and update content and have the opportunity to grow Wikidata by expanding entries for Black and African American comics creators as part of International Love Data Week and Black History Month.

 

This workshop is open to everyone and no knowledge of Wikidata (or comics) is required. Please bring a laptop if you plan on editing Wikdata.

 

Co-sponsored by the Center for African & African American Studies.

 

Registration is not required. Please share this with your colleagues and students.

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Best,

Matthew Murray (he/they)
