Women EmpowerED: Wikipedia Editathon

Women EmpowerED

An event celebrating and adding new pages on the lives and contributions of inspiring women and gender minorities missing on Wikipedia!

In its 20th year, Wikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world but lacks diversity in its editors and its articles. As part of the Women EmpowerED Conference, we are hosting a Wikipedia Editathon. This is kicking-off on Saturday 6th March with a talk from Professor Linda Bauld and training from Ewan McAndrew. This session is a drop-in editing event to ask Ewan questions and catch-up with the other editors! Our final tally of our contributions will be announced on Friday. Join us as we help make Wikipedia better! Then you can check how long it takes for it to appear in Google's top ten results!View the Wikipedia event page <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh/Events_and_Workshops/International_Women%27s_Day_2021" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.<h3>Schedule</h3>Saturday 6th March1:00pm - 1:20pm Welcome1:15pm - 2:00pm Talk on Online Representation (Linda Bauld)2:00pm - 2:10pm Break2:10pm - 3:15pm Training3:15pm - 4:30pm Editing SessionDrop-In Editing sessions with Ewan McAndrew:<ul><li>Wednesday 10th March: 2-4pm</li><li>Friday 12th March: 2-4pm </li></ul>
