During this workshop, you will not only learn the basics of Wikipedia edits, but you will help improve the visibility of female scientists (maybe someone you know or value for their work)! No prior experience with Wikipedia editing is required to join the workshop. To make sure we’re all on the same level, we will start the workshop with an introduction and Wikipedia editing training session. We will then work on our own edits, with possibilities to check in with each other and ask questions through the chat. After our wrap-up and experience sharing, we will end with a virtual borrel.

You can sign up here. After signing up, you will be added to our Teams environment which we will use as our platform for the event.

Things to do before filling in the form:

• Create your own Wikipedia account (this is needed for editing). We recommend using a pseudonym, i.e. a username other than your own/usual, as its always safer (and fun) to have another identity!
• [Optional] Think of 3 female scientists you would like to create/edit a Wikipedia page for. This could for instance be an existing page that has lacking/wrong information, a completely missing page, or an existing page that is not yet available in your native language.

We’re looking forward to editing together with you!
