Join us for a special NYC 400 Wiknic and Edit-A-Thon in partnership with Washington Square Park on Sunday, July 20th from 12pm to 4pm. A Wiknic, is a "picnic that anyone can edit", and we'll be focusing on editing articles related to the 400 neighborhoods and New Yorkers that were nominated for detailed Wikipedia articles. Check out our Wikimedia NYC 400 campaign for more details. For those interested in Wikimedia Commons or photography, we'll do a photo tour around the park and Greenwich Village to snap pictures and work together to upload the images to Commons.

Please dress for the weather! We will have a few power charging stations but if you plan to edit, come with your devices fully charged.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct.

For the photo tour we'll be using the Wikipedia app and Wikishootme app . Feel free to download these apps to your mobile devices ahead of time.
