420 Collaboration

Details

When:

Saturday, April 15 – Sunday, April 30, 2017, and especially on April 20

Purpose:

To ceate and improve cannabis-related content at Wikipedia

If you would like to help out, please sign up below and add this page to your watchlist.

Some Wikipedia editors have expressed interest in organizing a 420 collaboration from Saturday, April 15 to Sunday, April 30, and especially on April 20, 2017.

The purpose of the collaboration, which is being organized by WikiProject Cannabis, is to create and improve cannabis-related content at Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects in a variety of fields, including: culture, health, history, medicine, politics, and religion.

If you are interested in supporting this effort, feel free to add your signature below and contribute to ongoing discussions. There are many ways to help, and all ideas are welcome!

  • The purpose of this project is for experienced Wikipedia editors, who may or may not edit cannabis articles often, and people who are familiar with cannabis topics, but do not edit Wikipedia regularly, to create and improve related content on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Bringing these two groups together, even for a short period of time, has the potential to improve many articles on the Internet’s largest and most popular general reference work.
  • We seek the inclusion of neutral, appropriately sourced facts. We want Wikipedia to have accurate, reliable information about cannabis, just like we want there to be trustworthy content about battleships, fungi, and your favorite episode of The Simpsons.
  • We have no political agenda. We are not activists advocating for legalization. If you want to edit an article about an anti-drug program, or expand a section about the negative health effects of smoking, great! We welcome your participation. All we’re promoting here is free knowledge.

Cannabis has long been used for hemp fibre, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. The plant has a history of medicinal use dating back thousands of years across many cultures, and touches on many different fields of study. This collaboration is being organized by WikiProject Cannabis, but below are lists of WikiProjects we plan to invite to participate (included are relevant articles and categories to identify how groups can help):
