Acknowledgements
We thank all participants (you!) and organisers who kindly share their time to make this virtual editing campaign possible. This event is a joint effort by library staff at University of Toronto's three campuses (Mississauga, Scarborough, and St. George) and the Toronto Public Library. It also builds on a previous event hosted in February 2020 at UTSC Library.
Start here
Log in or sign up for an account through Outreach Dashboard and Event Metrics. Please register with both.
Once you are registered with the event, you can begin editing! See #How to edit and #Tasks for an overview of what you can help with and how. You are, of course, always welcome to find ways to edit beyond what has been suggested.
You can register with the event anytime. We can count your relevant edits for the duration of February 2021 as long as you are registered by the end of the month.
How to edit
If you would like to learn through live training, please attend one of the facilitated sessions in #Schedule of events. You can also request an virtual one-on-one hour session with a library staff during the month of February (Monday to Friday, 9 am ET to 5 pm ET) by emailing us. You can also use this DIY slide deck.
On Wikipedia, you can improve old stuff (existing articles) or write new stuff (new articles). If you're new to Wikipedia, it may be helpful to start by improving existing articles.
Improve old stuff
Here are some ways you can improve an existing article:
- Link one article to another. For example, in Eglinton West there is a sentence on reggae which should be linked to reggae.
- Cite to verify statements which do not yet have a source. Everything on Wikipedia needs to trace back to a source.
- Add sentences based on sources. Keep in mind:
- Please only summarise and paraphrase the information found in the source being cited, to avoid plagiarism and copyright issues.
- The source cannot attest to more than it claims.
- For example, a source that says 'A' can only anchor 'A', not 'A therefore B'. To write 'A therefore B', you will need a source that says 'A therefore B'.
- Add templates to an article to make them easier to find, identify, and improve. You can add these to the bottom of an article, if applicable:
{{authority control}}- if the article is about a person or an organisation{{stub}}- if the article is small and needs more development.
Write new stuff
To write a new article, take the following steps:
- Choose a topic whose notability can be established through several reliable sources. You should find at least 3-5 sources which:
- are independent from the subject of the article (avoid conflict of interest)
- stay constant over time (avoid social media)
- can be summarised without additional interpretation (avoid sources like a photograph with no accompanying description)
- Look through related Wikipedia articles in case you find the same topic covered in a section of another article. Use a search engine to find relevant articles.
- For example, History of insulin is not an article in itself, but there are relevant sections in Insulin#History and History of diabetes#Insulin.
- If you do find a section which addresses your topic, you can build on that section instead of creating a whole new article.
- Gather many different sources on the topic. A Wikipedia article is the sum of what is known about a topic, so your collection of sources will be your writing material. No need to worry about perfection, but you can give it a strong start that others can build on.
- To get a sense for article structure, refer to other well-developed articles on the same topic area (e.g. place, biography, organisation, event).
- Take a look at some recognised articles in Wikipedia:WikiProject African diaspora#Recognized articles. These will give you a sense for what your article can look like.
- Draft the article, adding citations at the end of each sentence. If you used one source for many sentences, you may cite it at the end of the last sentence.
- You can draft the article in your Wikipedia sandbox. This is your scratchpad - you can find it in the top right corner of Wikipedia.
- Make sure to summarise and paraphrase the information you find in a source, to avoid plagiarism and copyright issues.
- When you are ready, use Wikipedia:Article wizard to submit your draft!

Tasks
To-do lists can make collaborative editing easier.
Below are some existing tasklists maintained by community initiatives. We note that many suggestions are centred on experiences in the United States.
- Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/Lists of Articles
- Wikipedia:WikiProject African diaspora/to do
- Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Article Suggestions
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Black history
- This is an open list. Please feel free to add your suggestions.
There is no existing, well-developed tasklist on the vast African and Afro-Caribbean histories in Canada. These tasklists are being developed through January and February as a contribution of this edit-a-thon.
New articles
Creating new articles can be a bit daunting—you may want to try improving existing articles if you're new to editing Wikipedia.
Feel free to add to this table we've started!
Existing articles
Articles listed below already exist on Wikipedia but might be improved by the suggested tasks.
Most articles were found from the List of Black Canadians (which itself could be expanded as a task).
These tables are by no means comprehensive — feel free to add new articles and suggested tasks!
