Editathon

In preparation of our editathon, please enter your name in one (or more) of the following sections simply by clicking the edit icon above (and confirm save changes when prompted to so). The Welcome new user page contains some suggestions how to improve articles, have a look if you like.

Improve the Description of a Collection

If you have an article in mind which you want to improve, leave your name and that of the collection; if you have no specific collection in mind, just write your name and we will find you a collection:

• X will improve the article Collectio quaedam
• ...

Improve as you see fit; Linda's version can always be restored and your version can always be improved. The Welcome new user page addresses some practical questions. For questions, comments etc in context of these tasks, please use the discussion page of the editathon page!

Improve the Description of a Manuscript

Same as with collections - you can either sign up for manuscript(s) you want to describe, or volunteer to improve mss articles we will assign.

• Y will improve the article Someplace, Bischoff Memorial Library, Cod. 1234.

• Missing Mss List 1 (mixed mss):
• Missing Mss List 2 (mixes mss):
• Missing Mss List 3 (München):
• Missing Mss List 4 (Paris):
• Missing Mss List 5 (Vatican):

The bigger the wiki gets, the more important become categories and other more technical issues. If you want to learn about them, sign up here and we will find you more technical tasks (putting articles into categories, but also more advanced tasks involving WikiMedia functions like the statistic tools used for example here).
