Saturday April 30: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa @ Guggenheim
Saturday April 30, 1-6pm: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa @ Guggenheim | |
---|---|
On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Wikipedia edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Asian Month, and Art+Feminism. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) ~~~~~ |

Open UTRS request
Bonjour mon ami! If you have a moment would you please take a peak at UTRS 15741? It's regarding a Checkuser block of yours from a few months ago. Just curious as to whether you have any input you can leave there (or you can email me if it's private of BEANSY-y). Cheers, --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
