Hi Nathan,
This is so cool! I'm thinking I could reach out to the library, see if they
would like to organize an event to work on this. It'd be a fun introduction to
Wikipedia.
I also agree with Travis' comment: I think it would help if there was a bit
more explanation! Let me know if you'd like me to try and edit the description.
Cheers,
Emeline
