Hi,
I'm short of helpers for this event for new editors. Over 40 attendees are booked, about a 50/50 mix of people from the Royal Society email and Twitter feeds and WMUK donors. The whole event lasts from 2-9pm, but the key periods for helpers are about 2.45-5.20 and 6.60-9.00 pm, when they are all actually editing. An extra hand at any parts of these periods would be very useful, just helping new editors who get stuck on their first edits. No special Train the Trainers etc experience needed; any regular Wikipedia editor would be fine.
If you can make it, please sign up at the event page on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Royal_Society/Diversity_in_Science_Edit-a-thon,_Royal_Society,_March_25,_2014. Nice cake & sandwiches, and we will go for a drink after. Alternatively, if you can think of any other Wikipedians who might be able to do it, please pass on, or let me have your suggestions.
WMUK can pay travel expenses, but please check with me if they would be over £25.
