|description = Join the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) and Wikipedia's official United States affiliates for a virtual edit-a-thon to help strengthen the quality of the world’s largest online encyclopedia and improve the searchability of historic public radio and television collections in the AAPB. As the first event in an on-going series, this edit-a-thon will cover how to create a Wikipedia user account and edit using common conventions.
  +
  +
The AAPB is a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH Educational Foundation in Boston that coordinates a national effort to preserve and make accessible historic public media programs and original materials created over the past 70+ years. More than 130 stations and originals producers have contributed media that documents America’s cultural, political and scientific history – and so much more.
  +
  +
Leading the edit-a-thon are Ariel Certone, Wikimedia DC's Institutional Partnerships Manager, and Ryn Marchese, AAPB Engagement and Use Manager. The event will focus on updating the Wikipedia records of AAPB Participating Organizations in order to include information about their contributed programs in the AAPB.

No experience necessary—just be ready with your computer, a motivation to combat gender bias, and a belief in equal access to quality information resources. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.

|description = 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 the history of women in science in the United States in connection with the Funk List.
  +
  +
Did you know that less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women? Throughout the Smithsonian’s nearly 175-year history, women have worked in the sciences, paving the way for future generations at the Institution and in their fields. The stories of these American women can inform and inspire, but only if you can find them.
  +
  +
Join our #BecauseOfHerStory effort to improve representation on Wikipedia of these Smithsonian groundbreakers who have been pioneers in various disciplines, from astrophysics to zoology.
  +
  +
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution Archives and the Smithsonian American Women's Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.
