 '''Welcome to Women in Red's Role Models meetup and online editathon focused on university students who became notable

March 2017'''

Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from March 1 to 31, 2017, on Role Models from Women's Universities in connection with a physical editathon at Northern Territory Library, Darwin, on Wednesday, 8 March. It coincides with our activities for International Women's Day and WikiWomen's History Month. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.

The main goals of the event are:
 * to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
 * to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
 * to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
 * to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

When and where

 * We will be running the main event from 5pm to 7pm in the at Northern Territory Library on Wednesday, 8 March.
 * Training will be provided by Wikipedians from Wikiclub NT. Come whenever you want.
