This report describes the activities of Wikimedia District of Columbia from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Content programs

Wikimedia DC held three edit-a-thons: two in partnership with local cultural institutions, and one held at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library. A total of 38 volunteers attended these three edit-a-thons, volunteering approximately 147 hours in total. This volunteering includes editing Wikipedia, learning how to edit Wikipedia, and helping others in their editing. Twenty of these volunteers created their Wikipedia accounts at these events or in the preceding week, constituting approximately 52.6% of the total attendees. None of these newcomers have attended edit-a-thons since, making reaching out to them all the more necessary. Indeed, only three volunteers participated in two or more edit-a-thons. We expect repeat attendance figures to increase as more events are held and more efforts are made to reach out to past attendees.
