We all use Wikipedia as a source to find information and learn more about certain people. But did you know, that less than 20% of all English articles on Wikipedia are about women and the number for women scientists is even smaller?
BIH Diversithon wants to change this and contribute to a more diverse Wikipedia. Join them for their Edit-a-thon to edit and create new Wikipedia articles about women scientists, scientists of colour and other marginalised groups, which are underrepresented in Wikipedia.
Everyone is welcome to participate, you do not need any knowledge about editing or writing Wikipedia articles. All you need is some time and a notebook.

Experienced members of the WomenEdit group Berlin will give an introduction and support you to take your first steps or dive deeper into editing Wikipedia entries.

Let’s diversify Wikipedia together!
