Overview
[edit]The Women's Classical Committee holds monthly Wikipedia editing sessions online to improve the representation of classicists (very broadly conceived) of those who identify as women and non-binary. We normally meet on the 22nd of every month, from 1300-1500, on Zoom. #WCCWiki is an independent project steered by the WCC, run entirely by volunteers. Everyone is welcome to take part. DM @womeninclassics on Twitter for details on how to join, or email womensclassicalcommittee@gmail.com. In July 2021, we celebrated the fiftieth #WCCWiki editathon!
Please see the list of pages (under the 'aims' tab) that are priorities for editing and choose a page to edit or create. Please feel free to add ideas for relevant pages that need editing or creating if they are not on the lists.
