Indigenous Film and Media Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon
When and Where
DateNovember 23, 2016
AddressSFU Surrey

Event information

  • Date: Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016
  • Time: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
  • Location: SFU: Surrey, Galleria 5, Rm 5080
  • Participants: No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers as needed throughout the event.
  • Registration: Registration information can be found on the SFU website.

Please bring a laptop with you! (Please note SFU does not have a guest wireless network. For non-university guests, there is access to EduRoam.)

  • Before the event: Please select a minimum of THREE entries that interest you from the two lists below (Articles in draft and/or Articles needing expansion), and do some background research to find good sources/information to include on each page during our edit-a-thon. Doing this research prior to our event will help get things moving, so that we can spend our time during the workshop editing (rather than gathering sources). Remember that entries in Wikipedia must be about notable people/organizations, and must have good sources to verify this. Your entries must be neutral, establish notability, and must not be copy-pasted verbatim from another source.

What can I work on?

The theme for this Edit-a-Thon is Indigenous Film and Media. The focus is on the Canadian context. There are a number of ways you can contribute to Wikipedia . You can create or enhance Wikipedia articles, add external links, verify and update citations, provide resources to help those writing articles, and assist with research.

Articles in draft

Articles needing expansion, updating and/or cleanup, adding categories

Articles needing creation

If you don't have time to create a full article make sure you mark it as a stub. You can also help out by categorizing existing stub articles.

Articles created/improved

Here is where we keep track of the edits we've made throughout our edit-a-thon. List the Wikipedia page name, and briefly describe your actions. Ex: Never Alone (video game) - added information about recent awards; corrected typos.

Kevin Lee Burton - Add information about Writing the Land Alanis Obomsawin - Add information about The Diary of Richard Cardinal

Edited name of Pauline Johnson to E. Pauline Johnson where appropriate. E. Pauline_Johnson
