Dates April-December, 2016 Location This is a virtual, global event... you can participate from anywhere in the world Collaborators WikiProject Women scientists Institutional support WikiEdu Co-organizers Keilana (talk) Rosiestep (talk) add your name here Celebrating Women Scientists Founded by Wiki Education Foundation, Year of Science is a year-long event to improve the coverage of science on Wikipedia. In this connection, Women in Red and WikiProject Women scientists are collaborating from April through December on a campaign to increase the coverage of women scientists. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present notable women in science who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. Contribute at your own pace. The main goals of the edit-a-thon are: to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women Shortcut WP:WIRYOS
