Wikimedia NYC and The Latinx Project are hosting the Wikipedia NYC 400 Edit-A-Thon: Nueva Yol on Friday, September 19, 2025 from 5pm to 8pm at 20 Cooper Square, New York. 

The program, coinciding with the Wikimedia NYC 400 campaign and Latinx Heritage Month, aims to create a space to uplift Latinx New Yorkers, histories, communities, and themes which should be on Wikipedia or might need a little update. No prior experience with Wikipedia is required to participate! 

Bring a laptop or the editing device of your choice.

Please RSVP via Eventbrite

For inspiration, you can consult our growing Latinx Studies library which will be on display. Additionally, visit the photography exhibition Escenas. Snacks and refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public. 

Wikipedia edit-a-thons have emerged as a powerful tool for communities that are underserved by the lack of diversity among Wikipedia content editors.

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