Wikipedia:Edit-a-thon/CHASSY Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2019

The CHASSY Project is a joint scientific project working on the topic of yeast-based biotechnology. To communicate the topics and results the project organizes a Wikipedia training and Edit-a-thon. The goal of this course is to edit and update descriptions in Wikipedia of concepts such as yeast biotechnology, CRISPR technologies and related topcs, where information gaps currently exist (see below). The event is organised by Achim Raschka (wikipedian from Germany, employee of Nova-Institut as consortium partner) with support from the University College Cork, Delft University of Technology, University of Frankfurt, Chalmers University of Technology and Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA).

The CHASSY Wikipedia Edit-a-thon is meant for anybody who uses Wikipedia and we invite scientist, researchers and Ph.D students interested in the addressed topics to participate.

Participants

 * -- Achim Raschka (talk) 09:45, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * --Leonie Baumann (talk) 12:25, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * -- TylerDoughty (talk) 09:12, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Where and when
The Editathon will be organised as an online event running for several sessions. The participants start with a first session on creating an account and sign-up at this page, then starting with first editing and later on working together on dedicated articles linked to the topics of the project.

To discuss problems and other topics a set of meeting will be held via Zoom (or other software) at specific dates.

What did the Edit-a-thon's participants bring?

 * Their laptops(and a chargers!)
 * Their Wikipedia login details (same of them created a free account here)
 * Their enthusiasm to help contribute to the world's greatest encyclopaedia

Outcomes
The main focus to work on will be the english Wikipedia, but since CHASSY is an international project the students and scientists may also work on the wikis in their mother language (German, Dutch, French, Swedish, Irish Gaelic, Russian)
