About the event

[edit]

On Tuesday 13th October 2020, the University's Information Services team are running a Wikipedia 'edit-a-thon' to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2020 which is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Starting at 12pm, there will be a range of guest speakers giving lightning talks followed by fun & impactful Wikipedia editing activities from 1:30pm to 5pm. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given at 1:30pm. Thereafter the afternoon's editathon from 2:15pm-4:45pm from will focus on improving the quality of articles related to historic and contemporary Women in STEM!

Submit your STEM heroine nomination

Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others?
Did you know that, as of 22nd September 2020, approximately only 18.58% of the biographies on Wikipedia relate to notable women? Working together with liaison librarians, archivists & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. New editors are very welcome and participants will be supported to develop Wikipedia articles; creating new role models for young and old alike.

Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of Women in STEM!

Hit list of articles to be created or improved

[edit]

Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.

All are welcome to add names to the list which is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles in this important but somewhat neglected sector on the English Wikipedia.

The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!

Climate change researchers

[edit]

There is a list of women working in the field of climate change - any name with a little external link square beside it probably indicates a person who doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet!

"Fearless Pioneers"

[edit]

Surprisingly, the pages for a number of the women in Rachel Ignotofsky's excellent book Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers who Changed the World are quite sparse. It would be great if some of these could be improved to help those looking for more information after reading:

Once you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.
