Lift IP cap on en.wiki for account creation for Jewish Museum NYC - Sunday March 3
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Art+Feminism is holding its annual editathon at the Jewish Museum in NYC in conjunction with Wikimedia NYC, AfroCrowd, and others. We would like to request a temporary lift of the IP cap for the location on this Sunday March 3, 2019, from 10:00 am – 8:00 pm Eastern Time. We expect about 70 editors in attendance. Typically we expect about 1/3 to need new accounts created onsite, but potentially up to 1/2. Many will be created through the new Dashboard account creation process, but many will just be bold and create their own.

The IP is 72.43.130.34

We'd like the cap to be lifted on English Wikipedia
