Dear all, Join us for our Robert Burns Night Wikipedia edit-a-thon event ONLINE and in the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Research Collections this 25th of January 2-5pm. Come for the snacks and meet our new student Assistant Wikimedian in Residence, Ellie Whitehead, who has prepared some pages and sources for you to have at! Book here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-in-red-a-burns-night-inspired-wikipedia-editathon-tickets-793378274777> Wikipedia is the world’s go-to source of information but not everything is online. Far from it! 50-100 words+ is all we need to publish NEW pages as long as you #CiteWhatYouWrite Join us for a social and supportive afternoon and learn a new FUN and important 21st century digital research skill where you can do something amazing that has a lasting published impact by creating and improving Wikipedia pages about: * Women and Scottish literature, * Robert Burns, * Scottish poetry, * Scottish traditional dance, music, dress and more! * Even sharing just a (more) appetising image of a Burns Supper <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper> helps improve the information available online. More details and suggested pages to create and improve are available on our event page<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh/Eve…ht>. I'll bring some tea, coffee, victoria sponge cake and carrot cake (and possibly some Irn Bru, Tunnocks and Haggis crisps) to keep your editing efforts fuelled and keep the Ceilidh spirit going 🙂.
