Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Celebrating Women in U.S. Military History Wikipedia Editing Workshop

 @WikimediaDC

Celebrating Women in U.S. Military History Wikipedia Editing Workshop Did you know that Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that anyone can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries? Data has shown that less than 18% of biographies on English-language Wikipedia are about women.

Join us on September 26 and help to close Wikipedia's gender gap by improving and creating articles about notable women in the United States Military. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary. Training will be provided.

This event is not open to the public.
