Dear Wikimedia Community Ireland Members,
I hope this email finds you well!
This week is Science Week in Ireland. To celebrate we are holding an online
Editathon
<https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_Ireland/Wikimedia_Ireland_Science_Week_Editathon?enroll=#>and
would like to invite you to participate! We need your help in advancing
Wikipedia towards increasing the visibility and information about Science
in Ireland, particularly Irish women in STEM.
*Join the Science Week Editathon here!
<https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_Ireland/Wikimedia_Ireland_Science_Week_Editathon?enroll=#>*
Are you a Gaeilgeoir or even a Gaeilgeoir in training? Why not use this
Editathon as an opportunity to practice using your 'cúpla Focal'? There's
plenty of room for improvement on Vicipéid about science-related topics and
critically a huge lack of info about Irish Women in STEM. Just make sure to
change the URL to *ga.wikipedia.org <http://ga.wikipedia.org>* when using
the article finder
<https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_Ireland/Wikimedia_Ireland_Science_Week_Editathon/article_finder?search_term=cheimic&search_type=keyword&article_quality=100&min_views=0>
to
find suitable articles in Irish on the event dashboard (please see the
image attached for reference).
Remember even small changes are meaningful, so if you don't have time to
create a new article you can edit, fix typos, add sources or citations, or
even translate pages or sections to Irish!
Anyone can participate and the Editathon will run until the end of the
month. You can find more information and editing tutorials on our website
<https://wikimedia.ie/event/join-our-online-editathon-to-celebrate-science-week-and-women-in-stem/>.
Please feel free to reach out for help, or if you have any questions.
Happy Editing!
Kind regards,
Sophie
Project and Communications Manager
