Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Women Do News Edit-a-thon @ Luminary in NYC

The inaugural Women Do News Edit-a-thon was held from November 2 through November 16, 2019. On Saturday November 16, 2019, participants gathered at Luminary, a co-working space located at 1204 Broadway, 4th Floor, in New York City, to collaborate in person.

Are you a Wikipedia editor who would like to help us enter these new biographies onto the site? Great! Please contact Ejgertz (talk) 20:16, 16 November 2019 (UTC) to take it to the next step.

If you would like to contribute to Women Do News, please sign up to the Women Do News Wikipedia Edit-a-thon mailing list to receive more information and instructions. No experience with editing directly on Wikipedia is necessary.

The goal of Women Do News is to improve the quantity and quality of Wikipedia entries on women in journalism. We believe that when women’s achievements are better recognized, we can more frequently take our rightful place as leaders in our field.

This edit-a-thon has been organized by several fellows of the 2019 "50 Women Can Change the World in Journalism" cohort of Take the Lead. It is supported by the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice, Luminary, and Take The Lead.

Take The Lead prepares, develops, inspires and propels women to take their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors by 2025.
