The New York Academy of Sciences is hosting the GSA Summit 2017 Next Scholars Editathon taking place Wednesday, July 19, 2017, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm in New York City. This Wikipedia editing campaign aims to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of women scientists, working to highlight undercovered science stories in the encyclopedia.
This is a private event for students participating in programs at the New York Academy of Sciences. This event is unable to offer public access.
With this effort we're also supporting WikiProject Women in Red, and WikiProject Women scientists.
Please register for this event on Wikipedia!
The event will start with a presentation which gives the Wikipedia community perspective on the following:
Following the presentation, anyone may ask any question about Wikipedia to get answers or demonstrations. Following this, it will be time for a Wikipedia "editathon", which is an event in which a group of people edit together. Desktop view, not mobile access, is preferred for this exercise, but come regardless. At the editathon, this is the goal:
Hopefully everyone at the event will add at least 1-3 sentences in the time we have. After making additions, since Wikipedia is public, participants will review the accuracy and quality of other participants' edits. As we leave, participants will be invited to check back on Wikipedia after some time (3-7 days) to see if there is any online community response to anyone's contributions.
The following is a list of prominent women members of the New York Academy of Sciences. If you are looking for a suggestion of what to edit, consider any of these.
