Basics on editing Wikipedia
Help after the event
  • The Wikipedia Teahouse, a friendly place to ask questions and help new editors
  • Women in Red, a friendly WikiProject which creates articles on women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues; and mentors new editors, especially women

As part of its Women In Technology Professional Development Series (WiT), Cisco Systems is hosting a Wikipedia presentation and edit-a-thon on January 19, 2017. The event will focus on orienting attendees to Wikipedia's gender gap -both content and editorship- especially relating to women in technology. The event is open to Cisco staff, and invited guests. Lunch is provided courtesy of Cisco.

Training:

  • Username account creation
  • Notability
  • Reliable sources
  • Hands-on how to edit, improve, expand existing articles
  • Hands-on new article creation

Goals:

  • To encourage inexperienced editors (especially women) and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia
  • To improve a selection of Wikipedia articles related to women in technology
  • To increase awareness of systemic bias
