Dear all,
India has a lot of successful women scientists who have made a mark in their respective fields. However, it is unfortunate that these women still do not have an existence on Wikipedia. Read this blog posthttps://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/03/13/celebrating-womens-day-the-wiki-way/to know a little more.
We are organizing a Women Scientistshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India_(2014)edit-a-thon tomorrow and day after. Join us by editing as many articles as possible during these the two days. Apart from creating articles, you could also help us by correcting or expanding existing ones. Adding names to the existing list of scientists would go a long way too.
Find more details about the event herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India_(2014). Please add your name as a participant and feel free to start editing over a cup of coffee :-)
