Hello all, We at The Devil's Porridge Museum have been running our Miracle Worker Research Project for the last couple of months, working with remote volunteers to uncover the untold histories of munitions workers at HM Factory Gretna during WW1. We now want to put this research on Wikipedia. To do this we are hosting three Wikithons in September, October and November this year. I know this is a touch early, but we'd really appreciate it if you shared these events to anyone interested, or signed up yourselves!
Here are the Eventbrite events for the Wikithons: * https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163512453149 [https://cdn.evbuc.com/images/141747627/273331247603/1/logo.20210715-145039]<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163512453149> The Miracle Workers Wikithon #1<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163512453149> Join The Devil's Porridge Museum in celebrating the munitions workers at World War One! www.eventbrite.co.uk * https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163518477167 [https://cdn.evbuc.com/images/141747627/273331247603/1/logo.20210715-145039]<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163518477167> The Miracle Workers Wikithon #2<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163518477167> Join The Devil's Porridge Museum in celebrating the munitions workers at World War One! www.eventbrite.co.uk * https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/163519430017 You can also find our project page on Wikipedia here: Wikipedia:GLAM/DevilsPorridge - Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/DevilsPorridge> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/DevilsPorridge> Wikipedia:GLAM/DevilsPorridge - Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/DevilsPorridge> Welcome.
