<br>Like the approach and the way it's worded very much - am hoping we can do something similar in South Asia, so will share on India list.<br><br>Also, I know that is not necessarily the intent, but without (or adapting) the last line in each paragraph, it's a nice outreach blurb which could be used for mixed participants too.<br>

Obviously, right? But: have you ever <i>edited</i> anything in the Wikipedia? Bet the answer is “no,” and that’s a crying shame! Wikipedia, as you know, is quickly becoming the go-to reference point for our collective history. But, over 80% of Wikipedia’s editors are men–which means that women’s opportunities to document history and knowledge are passing us by.</p>
<p>In this hour-long online workshop, WAM!Bassador of Technology <a href="http://www.deannazandt.com/" target="_blank">Deanna Zandt</a> will teach you the basics of editing a Wikipedia page, as well as the cultural norms that you’ll need to know to be a good Wikipedian. It’s time to make sure that all genders are represented in our brave new history!</p>
