Here's a write-up of a recent Wikimedia UK-supported event which you might
find interesting.
I was one of the trainers for the event and I found it was particularly
interesting working with a group of feminists who'd decided the coverage of
a particular area on Wikipedia wasn't good enough and were on a bit of a
mission to change it....

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] She must be Wiki editathon - nice write up
To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
I've just come across a good blog post about last week's "She must be Wiki
<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/SHE_MUST_BE_WIKI:_Feminist_Film_Wiki-a-thon>"
editathon about feminist film. Sounds like everyone enjoyed the event, but
that some of the content they created fell a little foul of notability
guidelines.
The blog post is here -

Thank you to the trainers who helped out on the day (the event page says
EdwardX and LoopZilla) - it sounds like they are enthused enough to have
another event, so well done everyone involved.
Stevie
PS if any editors feel like helping them with their notability issues, then
I am sure it would be very welcome!
