Introduction

edit

This page is a meetup for the Music in Canada @ 150 edit-a-thon on October 27th at Laurentian University. This event is great for all levels of Wikipedia and Wikidata knowledge. We will help explain the basics of editing Wikipedia and Wikidata, and talk together about the importance of doing so.

We will be editing articles and adding Wikidata items relating to Canadian music and musicians, with a focus on Northern Lights Festival Boréal. This event is part of the WP:Meetup/Canadian_Music.

Workstations will be available for Laurentian students, staff, and faculty; other members of the community should bring their own laptop if possible.
