Melbourne: Saturday, 14 November, 11am –4pm

Who is this for?
We welcome anyone interested in writing more women in the built environment into Wikipedia. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary! We provide a quick overview of how to write and edit Wikipedia articles, and assistance throughout the event for your first attempts! Experienced Wikipedians are also very welcome – we need as much help as you can offer!
