Wikipedia:Meetup/AWIS Edit-a-thon: Ada Lovelace Day at WVU

Ada Lovelace color

Introduction

As a part of the Wikipedia Year of Science and in partnership with the Wiki Education Foundation, the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) has started a campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women in science. The AWIS chapter at WVU will host a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. This event will occur on October 27, 2016.

Edit-a-thon participants will dive in to Wikipedia and create content about women scientists. They will expand stub articles, start new articles, add references, and more. 

This event is co-hosted by the AWIS WV Chapter and the Wikipedian in Residence for Gender Equity at WVU, User:KellyDoyle.

Wise Library on the downtown campus is West Virginia University's main library.
