Everyone is cordially invited to attend a monthly Editathon in Cork, Ireland in collaboration with Dublin2019.

This is also working well with Women + Science Fiction & Fantasy

Wikipedia is one of the leading resources of knowledge for anyone who has access to the internet. You can make an impact by helping contribute to the free encyclopedia which anyone can edit. Come join us as we assist members of the public potentially join our editing/contributing community.

Meanwhile the Science Fiction and Fantasy community is excited to bring Worldcon to Ireland and we would like you to join us!

We want to get genre people to add biographies and articles about writers and creators as well as the works they create as well as to explain how the concepts of notability and reliable sources work.
