https://en.iyil2019.org/events/indigenous-languages-wikipedia-edit-a-thon/ #lingwiki2019 UN International Year of Indigenous Languages workshop, Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon, is calling all language lovers!
Wikipedia articles are the top search results for most languages, and yet many of these articles are incomplete. This workshop will give participants the skills to work with Wikipedia with the aim to grow our collective knowledge of indigenous languages.
This event will also feature guest speakers from DuoLingo and is apart of a larger #lingwiki initiative comprising edit-a-thons at multiple locations in honor of the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages.
Free pizza and snacks will be served.
Please let us know if you require an accommodation in order to participate in this event. Accommodations may include live captioning, ASL interpreters, and/or captioned media and accessible documents from recorded events. At least 5 days in advance is recommended.
