Wikipedia is the fifth most visited site in the world. Still, only 18% of the 1.6 million biographies in the English Wikipedia are about women, and only 16% of those individuals are tagged as scientists. During this event, you will learn how to be a Wikipedia editor – or hone your skills if you already are one – as we edit, update or add articles on Wikipedia. Trainers will be on hand throughout the day to provide guidance and assistance. To help get you started, we will have a list of people and pages we have identified that you can use to edit or create.
Join us when you can throughout the day to help:
1. Improve Diversity – Having more editors focused on strengthening existing or creating new pages for marginalized people in science. Visit the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory to learn more about efforts to improve diversity on the site.
2. Translate Pages – Wikipedia pages exist in multiple languages, but not all are equal. By translating existing pages where a page does not exist or includes less information, we can help the distribution of information on a global scale.
3. Simple Wiki – This site is designed for children and adults learning English. By contributing to these pages, you can open the door to the world of optics and physics and inspire the next generation of scientists.
