  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Wikipedia edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.

Time: Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, Edit-a-thon: 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (88th Street), New York City, New York 10128
Guests should enter using the 88th Street entrance via the ramp at 88th Street and Fifth Avenue

Editor of the Week

Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your article and list creations. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

Editor Dsp13 is a veteran WP editor, based in the UK, who began editing Wikipedia 7 July 2006 and in that time has amassed over 77000 edits with 85% in mainspace by adding humdrum categories - birth and death categories to biographical articles, or year of establishment to publications, schools, companies etc. The impressive list of articles he has initiated (found on his User page) is enormous by all standards. Speaking of lists, he has created many; lists of periodicals, of women writers, of women architects, of elected Members of Parliament and more. I discovered him at Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Dsp13 List/9 while searching for help in how I might include two of the volumes as references in many biographical articles. Dsp13 has started articles such as Cedar Paul, Robert Leslie Ellis, John Grote, and George Ballard. He has written scripts to match wikipedia pages to library name authority records, the National Register of Archives and the ODNB and has added about 4,000 references (for use by Cambridge alumni), to ACAD, a recent online edition of Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses.
