Project description
Culture PK libraries are generously hosting a Perth Women on Wikipedia workshop on International Women's Day (8 March 2025). They are not charging for room hire but we would like to be able to contribute to the costs of providing refreshments for workshop participants.

We will use the funding to provide tea/coffee and pastries for participants of a 3 hour editathon on International Women's Day in AK Bell Library, Perth.

- Describe your plan for evaluating this project. How will you measure success? What types of things will you measure (e.g. content, participants)?
We will have a dashboard recording the number of editors, and how many words, images, sources and articles are added on the day and for a week afterwards (to allow editors to complete what they're working on). As trainer, I will also seek verbal feedback based on the expected outcomes of the participants recorded at the outset of the workshop. Culture PK libraries will do follow up evaluation questionnaire.
- Identify key people involved in this project. How will or could the wider Wikimedian community be involved?
