Contemporary British Women Artists Editathon 24.11.18
|
About the Event
Bring your laptop and help us improve the gender gap online, inspired by our recent exhibitions by British artists Jacqueline Donachie, Tacita Dean and Emma Hart. No previous Wikipedia editing experience required as Sara Thomas (Scotland Programme Coordinator for Wikimedia UK) will teach us the essential digital editing skills.
How do I prepare?
- Sign up for the event
- Create a Wikipedia account (please ensure you create an account on Wikipedia, not Wikimedia UK)
- Bring a laptop (wi-fi will be provided)
- Learn about editing if you like: Tutorial, or Getting started on Wikipedia for more information
- Think about what you would like to edit - see the list below and please think about preparing some materials to bring with you on the day
Wikipedia has help pages which set out style guidelines for pages being created on certain subject areas. Please have a look at the following pages:
- Manual of Style for Biographies including how to begin the lead paragraph.
- Manual of Style for Biographies of Living Persons
Wikipedia’s Women in Red project aims to increase the visibility of women of note on Wikipedia. Advice about creating women’s biographies can be found via the Women in Red page.
