About the event
[edit]On Tuesday 12th October 2021, the University's Information Services team are running a Wikipedia 'edit-a-thon' to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2020 which is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Starting at 2pm, the afternoon's editathon from 2pm-5pm will focus on improving the quality of articles related to historic and contemporary Women in STEM!
Submit your STEM heroine nomination
Have you ever wondered why the information in Wikipedia is extensive for some topics and scarce for others?
Did you know that, as of 29th September 2021, approximately only 19.09% of the biographies on Wikipedia relate to notable women?
Working together with liaison librarians, archivists & academic colleagues we will provide training on how to edit and participate in an open knowledge community. New editors are very welcome and participants will be supported to develop Wikipedia articles; creating new role models for young and old alike.
Come along to learn about how Wikipedia works and contribute a greater understanding of Women in STEM!

2.. Evening networking event - Women in Chemistry (5:15pm-6.45pm)
[edit]Booking link to be added shortly
The School of Chemistry are organising a hybrid event to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day and the 5 year anniversary of the Christina Miller Fellowship scheme, with the 5 Christina Miller Fellows sharing their stories and experiences (inc. Dr. Jenni Garden).
The online part of the event will run from 5:15 – 6:45pm using Zoom. We’re currently finalising the details, adverts and booking links and details including the registration link will be shared asap.
Hit list of articles to be created or improved
[edit]Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc.
All are welcome to add names to the list which is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles in this important but somewhat neglected sector on the English Wikipedia.
The following is a small sample of topics to work on. Feel free to come up with your own ideas!

[edit]Once you've learned the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful. As a first step you may like to check out what What Wikipedia is not along with its 5 guiding principles: The 5 pillars.
- The Wikipedia Adventure Start Page - a fun tutorial introducing new editors to Wikipedia
- Visual Editor user guide
- Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
- The Teahouse new editor help space
- Wikipedia Help pages
- Article wizard – a Wizard to help you create articles
- The simplified ruleset – a summary of Wikipedia's most important rules
- Guide to Wikipedia – a thorough step-by-step guide to Wikipedia
- Is your topic notable enough for an article?
- Be Bold!
- Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
- Learn from others
- How to write a great article
- A simplified manual of style
- Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
- If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.
You may find these useful if you want to learn further about editing:
