Dear colleagues,
*Please disseminate to interested colleagues as appropriate – this event
is open to all.*
We’ve moved our #Vote100 Wikipedia editing event
<http://tinyurl.com/Votes100> to the University of Edinburgh’s central
campus and the Teaching Studio LG.07 at David Hume Tower Building. The
event is part of the Festival of Creative Learning and 2018’s celebration
of one hundred years since the Representation of the People Act (1918)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_Act_1918>
came into force and women were finally given the right to vote, almost
fifty years after the Edinburgh Seven fought for and won the right to train
and practice as doctors.* #Vote100 #FCL18*

This email is to invite you take part in the event where you can learn
how to edit, meet supportive colleagues, have refreshments and help address
Wikipedia’s systemic bias by publishing a new article of your choice about
a suffragette, a notable women in medicine or *any* of the incredible
women missing from Wikipedia e.g. Bessie Watson, the Scottish child
suffragette and piper
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_(Bessie)_Watson>. More
suggestions for pages to edit are very welcome.
*Bring a friend, bring two! We have a very large room, food and drink and
lots of pages to create. No editing experience necessary, full training
will be provided and it’s super easy (& fun) to do.*
Only 17.39% of biographies on Wikipedia are about notable women so there
are a great many notable women missing (both historic and contemporary)
from Wikipedia and from Google’s top search results.
I hope you can find time to attend as we could greatly use your support.
Best wishes,
Ewan
