Experienced Wikipedia editors and complete beginners are both welcome to attend - we'll provide training for anyone new to editing. If you’ve spotted an article that needs improving, bring along your queries and we’ll see what we can do to help!
How do I prepare?
- Sign up for the event at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-in-engineering-wikithon-tickets-34573666768 - places are limited and boking up quickly!
- Create a Wikipedia account (look at the top right any Wikipedia page for the link). You don't need to do anything else, but it'll speed things up on the day if you've already signed up for an account.
- Learn about editing if you like: see Visual Editor user guide for more information.
- Think about what you would like to edit about - you can even prepare some materials to bring with you on the day (to help with verifiability).
- Check out the notability guidelines and what topics can be written about on Wikipedia.
- Think about whether you have any conflicts of interest
