Experienced editors will be on hand to answer questions and suggest articles to edit and references to use.

Links to all event programs, including those listed below, will be available on the Penn State Libraries Wikipedia Editathon Dashboard. Participants can access the dashboard and contribute to the selected pages anytime throughout the period.
