Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Ada Lovelace Day 2020





About the event
On Tuesday 13th October 2020, the University's Information Services team are running a Wikipedia 'edit-a-thon' to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2020 which is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Starting at 12pm, there will be a range of guest speakers giving lightning talks followed by fun & impactful Wikipedia editing activities from 1:30pm to 5pm. Full Wikipedia editing training will be given at 1:30pm. Thereafter the afternoon's editathon from 2:15pm-4:45pm from will focus on improving the quality of articles related to historic and contemporary Women in STEM!  Submit your STEM heroine nomination  Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others? Did you know that, as of 22nd September 2020, approximately only 18.58% of the biographies on Wikipedia relate to notable women? Working together with liaison librarians, archivists & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. New editors are very welcome and participants will be supported to develop Wikipedia articles; creating new role models for young and old alike.

Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of Women in STEM!

Hit list of articles to be created or improved
Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.

All are welcome to add names to the list which is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles in this important but somewhat neglected sector on the English Wikipedia.

The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!

Useful links to help with your editing
Here are some useful links to help you with your editing:
 * Read up to find out more about sources and verifiability.
 * Check out the notability guidelines and what topics can be written about on Wikipedia.
 * Consider whether you have any conflicts of interest.
 * You can find advice on how to search for relevant sources on any scientist here.
 * All sorts of helpful guides and online resources can be found below:


 * 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.

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).

Climate change researchers
There is a list of women working in the field of climate change - any name with a little external link square beside it probably indicates a person who doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet!

"Fearless Pioneers"
Surprisingly, the pages for a number of the women in Rachel Ignotofsky's excellent book Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers who Changed the World are quite sparse. It would be great if some of these could be improved to help those looking for more information after reading: • Edith Clarke
