Hi all!

The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Network for Open Knowledge 
(IDEA Network for short!) is based at the University of St Andrews. It aims to 
make Wikipedia a more inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible place for 
all forms of knowledge. From midnight on Thursday 23rd September to midnight on 
Sunday 26th September, we will be running a 72 hour EU wide Wikipedia 
Editathon. This is all part of EXPLORATHON, Scotland's contribution to European 
Researchers' Night.

In order to be in good shape for the Editathon, we are offering this series of 
editing training session (you only need to attend one!). It is open to all 
researchers and anyone with an interest in improving the world's largest 
encyclopedia! As this is a Europe-wide event, each training session is targeted 
at a particular country, but feel free to book into a session that works for 
you and your diary.

During this training session, we will primarily be focusing on areas of 
Wikipedia with underestimated individuals, namely Women in Red for different 
disciplines, as well as cross-translating between Wikis, and adding images to 
the Wiki Loves Monuments competition. However, if there are particular pages 
that you are passionate about improving then please do go for it!
