Wikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world but lacks diversity in its editors and its articles. Participants will create new pages and/or help improve already existing Wikipedia pages. We will focus on women and underrepresented minorities in STEM - please use the survey to suggest pages that could be improved or created!

No prior knowledge required as training will be provided for those with no Wikipedia editing experience. Experienced editors are welcome, particularly to help improve pages. While this is a remote editing event, we will send around recipes for baked goods and drinks before the event and hope to see some of your creations on the screen!

The afternoon will unfold as follows:

12:45-13:00: Housekeeping and Welcome

13:00-14:00: Wikipedia Training by Ewan McAndrew, the University of Edinburgh's Wikimedian in residence

14:00-16:30: Editing in breakout rooms, feel free to take breaks if you like.

16:30-17:00: Meet back in the main room to publish your edits. Session close and group picture.

We would love to hear about your experience with Wikipedia. Please fill out this survey when you book your FREE spot.
