Requesting temporary lift of IP cap for UCLA Library event - 3/5/2025
Closed, ResolvedPublicRequest

Description

Hello,

I'm organizing a mini edit-a-thon for a first-year class at UCLA; the goal is to allow students to contribute to Wikipedia articles related to topics they are currently researching for a longer paper. Here are the event details:

Event date/time: 3/5/2024 - 5pm to 7:30pm PST
Attendance: between 20 and 65+ people
I have not created a program page for the event but can do so if helpful. My user page is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Katherinekaps

I will follow up with IP addresses; please advise if I also need to follow up with a list of pages the students will edit? (A comprehensive list is difficult due to the nature of the event... Ideally I'd like to allow student choice.)

Thanks so much for your help!

You don't. The rate limit only applies to account creations.
