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 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 Jessica Hynes' Wikipedia page. 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! ACrockford (talk) 14:41, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

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!)
