Internal:IP/Editing events

Background

Over the last five years, Wikimedia DC has worked with over 40 institutions of knowledge, organizing over 80 editing events. Editing events are how Wikimedia DC connects with its diverse array of partners, which include libraries, museums, professional societies, universities, and other organizations that promote the development and distribution of knowledge. They uniquely add a human element to Wikipedia, making it possible for the Wikipedia community to connect to its peers in a way Wikipedia could not do alone.

With the combined efforts of our local editing community and these organizations, we have made over 3,700 edits to Wikipedia, representing two million bytes' worth of edits to over 1,200 individual articles. We have also contributed over 200 files to Wikimedia Commons.
