As part of an ongoing effort to enhance diversity in the Wikipedia community, we are organising a Wikipedia Editathon at the the University of Edinburgh Festival of Creative Learning. Women across the University who work on themes related to Gender, Global Health and Justice (or a combination of any of those themes), are warmly invited to join us on Tuesday 21 February from 10.30-16.30 (lunch provided).
Prior knowledge or experience of editing on Wikipedia is not necessary. We are very lucky to be joined by in-house Wikimedian Ewan MacAndrew and colleagues who will train and support us throughout the day, to edit, add to or create Wikipedia pages. Some initial preparation might be required but these will not be onerous, and we will be guiding you through these. All we need for now is an interest in contributing to the 'largest single repository of human knowledge’.
Spaces are limited, so please sign up through the events calendar of the Festival of Creative Learning:
