Wikipedia:Meetup/Kitchener-Waterloo/16 Days UW

Event details
Women in STEM regularly suffer from gender-based harassment and exclusion, a phenomenon that is reflected in their chronic under-representation on Wikipedia. The University of Waterloo Library is hosting an edit-a-thon on December 7th, 2016 to help counter the trend and improve the representation of women in STEM fields on the site as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence events taking place on campus. Please join us at the Dana Porter Library from 12:00 – 2:30 pm to create and improve pages that highlight the work of women in STEM. First-time and experienced editors welcome!


 * Date: December 7, 2016
 * Time: 12:00 pm – 2:30 pm
 * Venue: University of Waterloo Library - Dana Porter Flex Lab, LIB 329
 * Cost: Free! NB: Space is limited. Those wishing to participate on-site should register ahead of time.
 * Participants: Basic Wiki editing skills are required, though hands-on assistance (and encouragement!) will be available on-site. See the Resources section, below, or the Wikipedia Help page for online training resources and assistance. New editors are encouraged to create an account ahead of the event.
