Dear all,
We are celebrating International Women's Day by organising edit a thons on
the 8th & 9th of March, tomorrow and the day after. We are focusing on Women
Parliamentarians<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Internat…
India this time around.
Join us by editing as many articles as possible during these the days. We
want to cover all of them. Apart from creating articles, you could also
help us by correcting or expanding existing ones. Adding names to the
existing list of parliamentarians would go a long way too.
Find more details about the event

Please add your name as a participant and feel free to start editing over a
cup of coffee :-)

events for
International Women's Day (March 8) and Women's History Month has been

I urge Indian language editors to add lists of articles to create and
expand as a part of the edit-a-thon:

The theme of the edit-a-thon this year on the English Wikipedia is Women
Parliamentarians. The articles listed for creation, expansion and
improvement as a part of the Lilavati's Daughters edit-a-thon on women
scientists could be taken up again during Women's History Month.
