Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world with an average monthly pageview count of 263 million. Yet only 18.72 percent of the biographies on (English) Wikipedia are of women. Help change this!

A short introduction to editing on Wikipedia will be given as well as a discussion on the notability of a subject for the purpose article creation. We’ll have ideas for new articles to create and suggestions for improvements to current articles. This will be an open event, drop by whenever you can and stay for as long (or short) as you like. No prior editing experience is required. This will be in alignment with the Wikiproject Women in Red.
