Edit-a-Thon Information

edit

Hello edit-a-thon attendees! I have posted a list of topics relevant to the Chinese Galleries on the edit-a-thon meet-up page. Please sign up for a subject and if possible try to do a little research on your own. Don’t worry if you have trouble finding information because we will help you with research during the event! A few reminders: Everyone should meet me (MJMcGowan) at the museum’s staff entrance at 8:45 on Friday to sign-in at the security desk. We will then travel to the Far Eastern Library as a group. Please also be sure to bring your own laptop, as the ROM will not have computers available. I have also noticed that many of our new e-volunteers have yet to set up their user pages. Please do this prior to the event. Directions can be found here. Also please go to the Get started section on the ROM’s Volunteer page and watch the two lectures by Wikipedia expects. These videos will give you a good idea about what our project is all about. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page with questions. Thanks 21:33, 14 August 2013 (UTC) MJMcGowan
