Abstract

MEDMED-L, the listserv for medieval medical history, will be sponsoring a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the IMC to help those new to Wikipedia to learn how to create and edit entries. Our focus will be medical topics, but the meeting is open to anyone who wants some guidelines in editing, as well as to anyone who wants to get connected with other people interested in topics on medicine and health. There will be only be one hardwired PC in the room, but there is WiFi available. So bring your laptop or other web-enabled device and let's get busy editing!
