Ada Lovelace Day:
24-Hour Global Edit-a-thon – UK
12 October 2021
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 19.97% 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. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red! |
This hybrid editathon will be hosted in Manchester as both an in-person and an on-line event. The Manchester event will be at the Pankhurst Centre, the former home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Britain's leading suffragette family.
Two UK trainers will be on hand.
Time: 2 p.m.(UK time) (1 p.m UTC)
There is ALSO an event in Scotland hosted by the University of Edinburgh.
