Opportunity to add medical women to Wikipedia[edit]
Emma Milliken has painstakingly compiled an index to the obituaries of MWF members contained in its Quarterly or Journal, which can be found on the catalogue record page for the Wellcome Library's holdings. Lots of these women have not yet got Wikipedia pages, though likely many of them do fit notability criteria, so these articles could be really useful to anyone interested in adding lots of important women to Wikipedia.
Likewise, many of the Presidents of the MWF haven't yet had pages created (though several are mentioned in articles such as lists of New Years Honours, a promising indicator of notability).
If anyone is interested in adding some of these women, perhaps we could plan an editathon linked with the Wellcome Wikimedian Residency - please get in touch on the residency page or my talk page if this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in.
