About this Event
Bring a laptop and help deepen Wikipedia’s coverage of country artists featured in the latest issue of the journal — especially up-and-coming and underrepresented artists.
Wikicurious: Country Music's Mythology is happening on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the historic Love House in downtown Chapel Hill, hosted by the Center for the Study of the American South, the University Libraries at UNC-Chapel Hill and the North Carolina Wikipedians, with additional support provided by Wikimedia NYC.
All are welcome, especially those who have never edited Wikipedia!
The event will celebrate the publication of Southern Cultures' latest issue, Country Music's Mythology.
Come by any time between 5:30pm and 7:30pm to:
- Go behind the scenes of the issue's playlist, Country Is All In Your Heart!
- Learn how to make Wikipedia edits that stick! (Please bring a laptop or tablet)
- Expand Wikipedia's coverage of country artists, beyond the narrow gatekeeping of mainstream radio!
- Meet local Wikipedians!
- Enjoy refreshments while you edit!
REQUIREMENT:
- Register here AND on our Wikipedia event page (create your account in the top right corner), so that you can track your progress!
- Please bring a laptop or tablet so that you can join in on the editing activities.
This is currently planned to be an in-person-only event. If you'd like to join us virtually instead, we organize monthly virtual meetups on the second Tuesday of every month. You can sign up to our mailing list to be notified when the meeting takes place next.
