About the event
editJoin us to celebrate the suffragettes, the lives & contributions of women in medicine and all the incredible women missing from Wikipedia!
The University's Information Services team will run a Wikipedia edit-a-thon focusing on improving the quality of articles about notable women; with a particular focus on the suffragette movement and women in medicine to celebrate the lives and contributions made since the Edinburgh Seven won the right to study medicine after the Surgeons' Hall riot and celebrating #100years since the Representation of the People Act 1918 first granted women the right to vote.
Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others?
As of 15 January 2017 only about 17.39% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That means only 263,022 of our 1,512,528 biographies are about women. Not impressed?
No prior knowledge is required. With guest speakers and plenty of refreshments to support you to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of medicine-related content, you’ll learn how to edit Wikipedia and participate in an open knowledge community. Refreshments provided.
Participants can attend the morning session, afternoon session or both and will be supported to develop articles of their choice related to notable women missing from Wikipedia. NB: Please bring a laptop along to the event or email me at [email protected] if you require to borrow one for the event.
