This page is for the Women in Science edit-a-thon held at the University of New South Wales on 18 September 2019.
What should I work on during the editathon?
editThere are many different ways for you to contribute today. Wikipedia is the product of millions of individual contributions and every change that is made, no matter how small, makes a difference!
We’ve prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. These are grouped into categories depending on the type of contribution that is required. Keep in mind Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits.
Once you’ve decided which task you’d like to tackle, add your username to the table.
