Dear all
As I know some of you will already be aware, Wikimedia UK, Women in Red
and Wikimedia editors and communities around the world are partnering with
BBC 100 Women to raise awareness of the gender gap on Wikipedia, improve
coverage of women and encourage women to edit.
A multi-location, multilingual volunteer-led editathon will be taking
place in various locations across the world on *Thursday 8th December. *In
the UK, editathons will be taking place for BBC staff, presenters and
special guests in all four nations of the UK with events in Belfast,
Cardiff, Glasgow, London and Reading. Women in Red are also running a
virtual editathon to involve more established editors, particularly those
who are already working on the gender gap.
You can read more about this project on the meta page, which we will be
updating as the week continues:

Whilst the events in the UK are primarily for BBC staff, presenters, VIPs
and other special guests, Wikimedia UK is collating a small guest list for
the Broadcasting House event. If you would like to attend, please email
Nicola.Furness(a)wikimedia.org.uk (copied in above) and let her know which
of the following times would be best for you: 2 – 4pm, 3 – 5pm, 4 – 6pm
or 5 – 7pm. Nicola is liaising with the BBC over capacity and will confirm
your space ASAP.
We are also exploring the potential for external guests at the events
in Cardiff, Reading and Glasgow, so please email Nicola if you are
interested.
All best
Lucy
