The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met was the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

To register, add your Wikipedia username to the #Participants sign-up below. Please check-in with museum staff when you arrive at the Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street Entrance) within the museum.

We also welcome remote participation for the global Met Asian Art Month Challenge!

Wikipedia Asian Month

The Wikipedia Asian Month is an international initiative to add new and improved Wikipedia articles on Asia, and Asian cultural topics.

The Met Asian Art Challenge is part of both Wikipedia Asian Month and WikiProject Metropolitan Museum of Art and is offered in conjunction with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Wikimedia Edit-A-Thon. The Met Asian Art Challenge will feature a points-based sub-contest for contributions to Wikimedia projects about Asian art that are illustrated by Creative Commons Zero images of public domain artworks from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art to new and existing Wikipedia articles.

Please visit the Image and Data Resources page on The Metropolitan Museum of Art website for details about The Met Open Access initiative. .

For the Asian art sub-contest, we'll send Met postcards to everyone who writes at least 1 article illustrated with Met artworks, in any language, as well as a larger gift like the Met guidebook or Asian art publications for the grand prize winner(s).

The challenge runs from November 1- 30, 2017.
