Lost Literary Edinburgh Editathon

edit
 
Thanks for all your efforts, and if you didn't get a brownie on the day, have a virtual one on us!

Hi Ammienoot!
Thank you so much for taking part in the Lost Literary Edinburgh editathon as part of the Being Human festival. Just so you know, we created 8 brand new articles on Wikipedia and improved a further 5, and there are still 12 articles in draft waiting to be completed!

If you need help moving your article from Draft into the main Wiki space, please contact myself ammienoot, or Sarah Thomas (lirazelf) or Ewan McAndrew (Stinglehammer).

You can visit the event page and see the full list, and we hope that you enjoyed the day and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll edit or create more articles. Here are some booklets and some links below that you may find useful.

Also here's a link to a User Guide which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.

Women in Red

edit

If you enjoy writing biographies of women and helping to close the gender gap you should check out the Women in Red WikiProject.

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!


Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.85% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!
