WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: We Are Here
- Help improve Wikipedia content around Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage!
- Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that you can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries. As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many individuals looking to learn about art, history, and science.
- During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to Asian American and Pacific Islanders heritage in the United States. This WikiAPA edition and our editing worklist has been built from APAC's forthcoming anthology We Are Here: 30 Inspiring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Shaped the United States, which features the stories of Asian American and Pacific Islander women, nonbinary, third gender, and transgender people. The anthology will come out on October 18, 2022, from the Smithsonian Institution and Running Press Kids.
- This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.

Example (right) of an assessment of the quality of articles in the WikiProject Asian Americans. Ideally, high importance topics will be of "C class" or higher. Those in the "start" class are excellent candidates for editing during the edit-a-thon – they are highly visible, so improving them by adding information, copy editing, or inserting references will have a high impact.
