Kundiman is excited to host our fifth Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this May! We hosted our first Edit-a-Thon with Wikimedia NYC in May of 2018. We wanted to bolster the presence of Asian American literature, writers, and literary organizations online by calling our community to address inaccurate and missing Wikipedia pages related to Asian American literature.

In our past four gatherings in the past two years, we have added 42,530 words to Wikipedia on Asian American writers. We’ve created 33 articles and edited 159 articles. The articles that we’ve edited and added have had over 400,000 views as of May 2020!

Check out our Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Recap page to see the impact our community has made online. And join us May 17th to May 22nd for a week-long virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon with Wikimedia NYC. You can signup and see the free Zoom training session times on our Wikipedia page now!
