Awesome :)
I'd love to help.
As an example, several times I've tried to start "Femme" as a separate article from "Butch & Femme" but it keeps getting reverted. (I forwarded this to some of my dear friends that organize the bi-annual Femme Conference, see http://www.femme2012.com/home/, http://femmeconference.org/, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_conference)
I *really* appreciate Sue mentioning the need for improvement in trans etc. articles.
More trans people editing various trans articles would probably be a very good thing.
I think the new "edit" option vs "edit source" will help a LOT.

Gah. I just realized I'm out of town that weekend so I won't be at the editathon. That's a shame --- I'd been looking forward to it.
FWIW though, in case anybody wants to edit on transgender issues, here are the books I've been working from. I'm not saying they're the best, but they seem fine :-)
Thanks, Sue

I'll come with a VPN set up to UCB's campus that will allow me to pull down articles from almost all academic journals for people as needed.

I usually find my sources through Google Books (plus I have a hard copy of Julia Serano's Whipping Girl). I'll check my Google Books bookmarks, probably tonight, and send them to this list. The journal subscriptions will be really useful for me too -- I don't have access to anything that's not publicly available.

I'm thinking that we could have some "reference materials" in the room on our topics. In addition, BPL has some journal subscriptions that might be useful. (SFPL has more, if you have a library card with them.) I know what you mean about "actually editing." Sometimes you don't get much done, but I find I do get a lot of stimulation for later edits. kc On 8/26/13 11:44 AM, Sue Gardner wrote: I'm planning to come, and I'm going to try to edit on some trans topics ("gender identity disorder" and stuff like that), since theyare presumably getting a lot of traffic these days, and the articles aren't very good.
(That said, my track record of actually editing at an editathon is pretty poor: I mostly end up talking or hanging out, not editing. But I am going to try.)

I would be more than happy to provide an intro in that slot - I've done a lot of similar presentations for education program events and for editathons. I usually use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/_**_Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/__Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET>>as my basic handout type thing; it can be printed out, but we can also just give people the link (since presumably everyone will have a laptop with them.) There are a few others floating around, but I think WP:CHEATSHEET is the easiest/most compact to use.
I'll also try to come up with some possible topics and add them to the editathon page within the next few days.
