What is an editathon?

Nothing! We are meeting in the Autzen computer classroom and everything will be supplied, including refreshments. However, if you have a laptop, we encourage you to bring it. The Autzen classroom has moveable tables for laptop users.

Please, consider creating a username before the editathon. Although it is not required--we're happy to help you create one at the editathon--you will save time by creating a username before the event. Don't forget to write down your username and password and bring it with you!

Wang Doodle Orchestra

Pictured here is the Wang Doodle Orchestra, a popular jazz band in Seattle in the early 1900s. As of December 1, 2019, their band does not have an article in Wikipedia. In addition, none of the band members have articles in Wikipedia. We will work to change that and fill the gap about Pacific Northwest, African American, and Women's history in Wikipedia.
