11am EST:<\/strong> Good morning folks! It’s a beautiful sunny (slightly humid but in the good way?) day here in New York City. Folks are starting to make their way to Coalition for Queens<\/a>, greeted with fresh-baked nomnomonom from Chinatown. We’re sorting out the first articles to edit<\/a>, and are just about ready to go with #WikiAPA! Can’t wait for the DC event to start soon!<\/p>\n

\"breakfast\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"wifi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

12:30pm EST:<\/strong> #WikiAPA is in full swing, with DC, NYC, Providence & Austin going strong and the West Coast tuning in! It’s around lunchtime now, check out all the eats happening throughout our events!<\/p>\n

\"brownu\"<\/a>

What goes best with outdoor editing at Brown University? FRIED CHICKEN!!!! Ok, fried chicken goes best with everything.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"filipinofood\"

Filipino food from Tito Rad’s in Queens!!! It’s very…well, rad.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"masubi\"

Touch\u00e9, LA, touch\u00e9.<\/p><\/div>\n

1:30pm EST:<\/strong> While we digested our grease here in NYC, Nancy Bulalacao<\/strong> came to speak about the Filipino American Museum<\/a>, currently in the process of securing a spot to become the first museum of its kind. Much like what we’re doing today at #WikiAPA, FAM seeks to establish understanding and embrace for narratives that are often left out of mainstream sources. Thanks, Nancy, for leading an awesome discussion on building a global Asian Pacific America!<\/p>\n

\"nancy\"<\/p>\n

2:30pm:<\/strong> What can we say? We’ve been #NerdingHard across the country!<\/p>\n

\"editing1\"<\/a>

Seasoned Wikipedians came through to help show the ropes for those logging in for the first time.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"editing2\"<\/a>

Asian Pacific America is such a vast field. In each city, we’ve suggested focuses relevant to the local communities. In Queens, that includes immigrant populations, particularly Filipino Americans and Southeast Asian Americans.<\/p><\/div>\n

4pm EST:<\/b> After a sweeeeeet editing session, we took another break to be reminded of why we do what\u00a0we do. The wonderful Patricia Lee from our co-sponsor FWD.us<\/a> spoke on the importance of acknowledging the experiences of immigrants from all backgrounds in our Asian Pacific American narrative. Snaps snaps to that!<\/p>\n

\"patricia\"<\/p>\n

We were also treated to a prose and poetry reading by Jordan Alam, founder of Project As[I]Am<\/a>, dedicated to unearthing the stories of historically-marginalized APA communities (sense a theme here?).<\/p>\n

6pm EST:<\/strong> We went a bit overtime in NYC, y’all. The editing was strong across the country. We made some amazing change today! Our next step is to instill a culture of APA scholarship across frequently-used information sources like Wikipedia. We’ll develop and present a framework for future #WikiAPA’s to follow. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
