Together, we shall celebrate the Women&#39;s month!<br>

<p>Great initiative!</p>
<p>Wondering why you&#39;re limiting yourself to one article? Why not do multiple articles in small groups of 3 to 4 people? Also, why not do it across languages as well?</p>
<p>It might get slightly messy but will be more fun and might foster some healthy competition between the groups as well :)</p>

<br>Hey All,<br><br>I am writing to invite each one of you to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Thon" target="_blank">India WikiWomen&#39;s Edit-a-Thon</a> that has been scheduled for 25th March 2012, Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. It&#39;s probably not possible for all of us to meet physically to celebrate Women&#39;s Month but we all meet virtually - online!<br>





<br>During the two hour time slot we all will be editing an article which will be pre-selected by way of nomination and votes. Depending on the number of members joining in we can also organise an IRC meet to meet each other before and during the event. <br>





<br>Everyone is welcome to come edit Wikipedia with us at this event. Women, new editors, all those who relate to women&#39;s history or women&#39;s issues, those who want to learn how to edit or can teach others how, and anyone with an interest in women&#39;s history are particularly encouraged to attend.<br>





<br>Please sign Up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Thon#Sign_up" target="_blank">here</a> and suggest and vote for articles <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Thon#Article_Selection" target="_blank">here</a>. Nomination for articles will be closed by 22nd of March and the voting will be closed by 24th March. Hurry! :)<br>





<br>Thanks<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nitika.t" target="_blank"> Nitika</a>, for bringing up this idea! <br><br>I welcome all of you to participate by editing subjects about women&#39;s history and more. Everyone is welcome!<br>
