 Ride would have turned 62 on May 26th had the world not lost her to pancreatic cancer last July. To honor her enduring legacy, southern Arizonans and all attendees of SpaceFest are invited to gather on her birthday to edit and create Wikipedia entries on notable women in astronomy and the space sciences.

Suggested Topics for May 26th edit-a-thon[edit]The following is a sampling of suggested articles to create or add upon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! You may also consider cleaning up articles on more well-known women, including Sally Ride herself. Updates could be as simple as making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional. Adding women to relevant categories; adding scientist infoboxes; and adding appropriate images are other helpful tasks. Articles needing creation[edit]
Articles needing expansion and/or cleanup[edit]
