About the event
The Emmy Noether Society for women in mathematics at Cambridge University is hosting an editathon on Tuesday 11 March 2014, 3-6pm, to improve Wikipedia articles about female scientists, particularly focusing on Mathematics!
- How do I prepare?
- Sign up for the event
- Create a Wikipedia account - en:Special:UserLogin/signup
- Bring a laptop (wi-fi will be provided)
- Learn about editing if you like: w:en:Wikipedia:Tutorial, or Getting started on Wikipedia for more information
- Think about what you would like to edit about - you can even prepare some materials to bring with you on the day
- Refreshments will be provided
- Programme
It's an informal session guided by the participants.
Articles needing creation, updating and/or editing
- Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat (include information about her mathematical work, not just biography)
- create a page for Charlotte Angus Scott, one of the first professional British woman mathematician (speak to organisers about a resource for this)
- Grace Chisholm Young include references about her work on functions, and make the biographical part less "mother vs mathematician"
- Frances Kirwan (expand article: perhaps expand the section about her mathematical work)
- Philippa Fawcett (expand article: include reference to her lecturing at Newnham and reference the news articles about her topping the Tripos)
- Paul Shellard (expand this page and include English translation)
- Malcolm Perry (update this page to include current research in generalised geometry and double field theory)
- http://www.cam.ac.uk/women-at-cambridge/profiles (list of people to possibly make a page for)
- Paul Townsend include information about discovering the membrane of M-theory!
- David Tong (no mention of current AdS/CFT work)
- Michael Green (now works on higher-loop string amplitudes and their divergences -> SUGRA)
- Gabriel Paternain (expand article: currently listed as a stub)
- Charlotte Barnum (expand article: currently listed as a stub)
- Prof Susan Brown make article on Prof Susan Brown from UCL
- American mathematician stubs (list of stub pages of mathematicians)
- European Mathematicians stub articles (list of stub pages of mathematicians)
- Professor Caroline Series, currently only has a page in German
- Make a page for Prof Anne Davis, Ruth Gregory
