==Welcome!==

Please feel free to ask any questions about the event, or many any recommendations for articles that might be created or improved during one of the editathons. Anyone, whether you are participating or not, is welcome to offer their suggestions!

==Editing Tips==

For women with different birth and married names - something I came across editing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Garrett_Anderson Elizabeth Garrett's entry] you can use the birth_name in the panel of information about them. For an example of how this fits into the Wikipedia person entry formatting I'd recommend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Hynes Jessica Hynes' Wikipedia page]. [[User:NicolaOsborne|NicolaOsborne]] ([[User talk:NicolaOsborne|talk]]) 13:15, 23 January 2015 (GMT)
: Thanks Nicola, that's a really good point and useful for a lot of the women we'll be writing about! [[User:ACrockford|ACrockford]] ([[User talk:ACrockford|talk]]) 14:41, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

==Additional Edinburgh Women==

Eliza Wigham, Elizabeth Pease Nicholl, Priscilla Bright McLaren and Jane Smeal - all leading ladies in the Edinburgh Ladies Emancipation Society. Eliza Wigham and Elizabeth  Pease were at the first World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, which they tried to ban ladies from attending. They went on to have a huge influence not only in campaigning for the emancipation of slaves, but the women's suffrage movement. I don't think any of them have a wikipedia article. Eliza is currently being exhibited as part of the National Library of Scotland's American Civil War Exhibition.

== Places table (in development) ==

I'm just working on putting together a Wiki-fied table of the relevant places for the Tuesday workshop - if you know of other relevant, authoritative links that can back up research into these sites please do add them (feel free to add them in a comment if you're not comfortable working with the table, I'll format them later!)
