Wikipedia:Meetup/Australia/Gilead editathon 2025 FW

Edit with VisualEditor

This is the page for the Gilead Australian medical research editathon in partnership with Franklin Women, Gilead Australia and Wikimedia Australia. The editathon will be held on 3 June 2025 at Gilead Australia in Melbourne.

Participants in the Women in Health and Medical Research editathon 2024

During this event, we'll be working together to increase the visibility of women in STEMM on Wikipedia, particularly those working in the health and medical research sector.

Let's get started!

1. If you don't have a Wikipedia account yet, please create one. Remember, you may choose to make your username anonymous and gender-neutral.
2. Create your user page and add that you are "Participating in the Gilead editathon 2025" and add a hyperlink to this project page. This lets other editors know that you are a new contributor and still learning.
3. Please also join the dashboard so we can track our progress!

What should I work on during the edit-a-thon?

Existing articles can always be improved, whether that be by fixing grammar and spelling, correcting the tone (to be more neutral, like an encyclopedia rather than a CV), adding missing in-line citations, or refreshing outdated articles.

We've prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. These are grouped into categories depending on the type of contribution that is required.

Once you've decided which task you'd like to tackle, add your username to the Gilead editathon google sheet here:

Keep in mind Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits.
