Dear all,
There is one more day left for participating in the first online
edit-a-thon happening in connection with International women's day
celebrations in India. Thirteen new articles have been created as a part of
the edit-a-thon. Volunteers from Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi have
initiated edit-a-thons in their respective languages and have produced
wonderful results so far.
If you are interested in creating/expanding articles related to women, sign
up today on the event page here:

A news report about the women's day events was posted by Vaishali Chitnis
on Loksatta newspaper. The news report can be read here:

March has been declared as Women's History Month.
There is a Wikipedia editing workshop in Goa on March 8 at Nirmala
Institute of Education from 3 pm to 5 pm. It is followed by an offline and
online editathon.
The online editathon is a month-long affair, which will be held every
weekend starting with the weekend after March 8.

The goal of the month-long event is to encourage more women to contribute
to Wikipedia and increase representation of articles related to women in
Wikipedia. The event aims at creating new articles, expanding the existing
stubs and translating English articles to various Indian languages.
Members are requested to start edithons in regional language Wikipedias.
Regards,
Rohini Lakshane
