July 3, 2025 – Wikipedia Workshop and Edit-a-thon “Literarische Genres in Red”

A cooperation of the FAU German Studies Master and the WomenEdit group of the city library

“There’s already so much here, but exactly what I’m looking for is missing” Have you ever searched for something on Wikipedia and been disappointed because the most important thing is missing from the article or there is no article on the topic at all?

As part of the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, we want to remedy this: Together we will learn how to create and edit an article. With a focus on literary genres, we will also examine why some genres do not exist in Wikipedia and whether something can be done about it.

To this end, we briefly provide expert knowledge on early modern and contemporary literature. Then we’ll get started: we’ll start editing together! No previous knowledge is required, we will be happy to help you and start from scratch. Snacks and drinks are also provided. Come along and learn something new about Wikipedia and literature!

When? Thursday, July 3, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (two slots from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m.)

Where? Citizens’ Hall of the Erlangen City Library (Stadtbibliothek, 2nd floor)
