==About the event==

After the success of last year's [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Ada Lovelace Festival of Wikipedia workshop#Edinburgh|Ada Lovelace Festival of Wikipedia Edinburgh]] event, the BCS Women's chapter in Edinburgh are excited to host a follow-up editathon as part of the Women who Shaped Scotland project. Organised by the National Library of Scotland and Wikimedia UK, the project consists of a series of editathons run during March 2014, aiming to improve Wikipedia's coverage of influential Scottish women in a variety of professions.

The Women in Computing editathon will look to add and improve information about Scottish women who have made a significant impact in the field of [[w:Computing|computing]], including computer engineering, software engineering, computer science, information systems, and information technology. Whether creating entirely new articles for women who have been overlooked thus far, or working on existing articles to make them better and more informative, any contribution is welcomed!
