A MagicPedia/Wikipedia Edit-a-thon proposal, similar to the one just done for Washington D.C., that would concentrate on a range of topics around magic history.
Proposal: Hold an "edit-a-thon" in 2013 with the goal to help assimilate MagicPedia's content into Wikipedia (and vice versa). This is similar to Lee Asher's original proposal to Wikipedia's WikiProject Magic back in 2008 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Leeasher#Original_Letter_to_Project_Magic ), but include both the entire Wikipedia and magic community.
Things to do:
- Learn about edit-a-thons
- Propose dates
- Maybe for this summer
- Maybe during some upcoming magic conference ([http://www.magicposters.com/conference_2013/main/ Washington Symposium on * Propose places
- Virtually, via google hangouts
- Ask CARC if they would be willing to host it.
- Ask Magicana if they would be willing to host
Magic History] in a few weeks would have been ideal, if I had thought of it in time! )
- Advertise (forums, newsletters, tweets) and invite (Wikipedia's Wikiproject Magic, others?)
- Start selecting good candidates of notable magicians in MagicPedia that are not yet in Wikipedia
- Identify all the magic related categories on Wikipedia.
- Learn all about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
- Provide resources for new Wikipedia users
- See if all the Genii covers we have been uploading to MagicPedia can be used on Wikipedia. They have lots of images of magicians we can use.
