About the event
This event provided training for NUSTEM Summer School students on how to edit Wikipedia, then allowed time for them to work on articles about women in science.


 * How do I prepare?
 * Sign up for the event!
 * Create a Wikipedia account (look at the top right of this page for the link). You don't need to do anything else, but it'll speed things up on the day if you've already signed up for an account.
 * Learn about editing if you like: see Visual Editor user guide for more information.
 * Think about what you would like to edit about - you can even prepare some materials to bring with you on the day (to help with verifiability).
 * Check out the notability guidelines and what topics can be written about on Wikipedia.
 * Think about whether you have any conflicts of interest.
 * Take a look at the list of Women Climate Researchers or Wikiproject Women Scientists to help you find a person for whom you'd like to create/improve a page - or search for another scientist to see if their page needs to be added/improved!

 * You can add pictures for use on Wiki-pages and beyond on Wikimedia Commons. Your Wikipedia account will work on Commons too - as well as all the other Wiki-projects and different language versions of Wikipedia.
 * If you're interested in joining a community of editors passionate about women in science, take a look at Wikiproject Women Scientists. You can also view useful resources on adding pages for women at Wikiproject Women in Red, plus find links to news articles and view worklists highlighting articles/topics that are the current focus of improvement.

Here are some ways to keep track of your edits:
 * You can view all your contributions to Wikipedia by clicking "Contributions" (in the top right of this page).
 * The Pageviews tool is a great way of measuring how many people are looking at the page you created/edited. You can even export the data if you'd like it for reports, etc.
