We’ve moved our #Vote100 Wikipedia editing event<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_191… 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 Festival of Creative Learning events – Free and open to all! 1. #Vote100 Wikipedia editing event (22 February 2018).<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh/E… 2.

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>on>. 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.

Same here, Roger. Edinburgh is a long way to go. What we need is some events being promoted in our own region, as the Midlands seem to be falling behind these days. I would have thought that all we need is a venue and a bunch of folks interested and we could do our own Women in Red event. There must be dozens of local Women's History groups and similar within striking distance of us, and there ought to be institutions willing to host an event. Do you have any contacts? Cheers -- Rexx
