Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia/2013 June 20

Members of the CHF community and guests will have an opportunity to work on Wikipedia pages of interest to them, particularly those in the areas of the history of science, chemistry, and women in science. Activities may include editing pages, creating new pages, and adding images and metadata, with a focus on CHF’s collection of women scientists. Active Wikipedians and novices are welcome. Coaching will be provided. Please bring your own laptop.

WHAT: Creating and expanding existing Wikipedia pages about the history of science, particularly chemistry, and the role of women in science, drawing on materials and resources provided by the Chemical Heritage Foundation.

WHO: Open to CHF, Wikipedian visitors, and online Wikipedian participants. The museum tour is limited to 10 non-CHF participants; please RSVP before Wednesday, 19 June 2013 to reserve a space. If you do not have any experience editing Wikipedia, please be aware that this Edit-a-Thon will build upon the "What is Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia 101" talks given at CHF and PhillyDH, rather than repeating the information presented there.

WHEN: Thursday, June 20, 2013, 12:00 P.M.-4:00 P.M. E.D.T. (see the schedule below.) Snacks and drinks will be provided.

• 12:00-1.00 Visitors Tour of the museum, rare book room, and archives (meet in main lobby)
• 1.00-1.20 Orientation to the Edit-a-Thon and the target resources (Franklin Room)
• 1.20-3.00 Editing (CHF staff and Visitors)
• 3.00-4.00 Optional time; people may leave, others continue to edit, chat, or visit the museum until it closes at 4.00 p.m.

WHERE: [http://www.chemheritage.org/ Chemical Heritage Foundation] 315 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106-2702 Tel: 215.925.2222. See [http://www.chemheritage.org/visit/conference-center-rental/directions.aspx Directions]. The nearest subway stop is at 2nd and Market; the nearest Metro stop is Market East Station.

WHY: By increasing the number of pages on Wikipedia about chemistry, the history of chemistry, and the role of women in chemistry, this event can help to close the Wikipedia [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap Gender Gap], and increase Wikipedia's scientific content. The Chemical Heritage Foundation has great resources in these areas, many of which are available online.

OTHER: Please bring your laptop or ipad. A limited number of ipads may be available for use by those who cannot bring their own computer to the event.

IMPORTANT: Please RSVP by adding your name to the list below AND emailing mockerbloom@chemheritage.org before Wednesday, 19 June 2013 because space is limited. If you are unable to attend, you can leave your name to receive information about possible future events.

HASHTAG: [http://twitter.com/search?q=%23GlamCHF&src=hash #GlamCHF] People are welcome to participate online at any time, not just during the on-site event.

We would love to include Wikipedians as guest coaches for the edit-a-thon, and to promote this event online under the hashtag #GlamCHF so that others can participate remotely. If you would like to participate, please email me at mockerbloom@chemheritage.org or edit this page to add yourself as a participant.

CHF has information about many topics relating to the history of science. These were favorites in our brainstorming sessions.

• Chemical Heritage Foundation should not be edited by CHF employees -- it could use a section outlining the history of the organization and its leaders. Currently, only founder Arnold Thackray is mentioned; the current head, Thomas R. Tritton, is to be succeeded in August by German chemist Carsten Reinhardt, author of Chemical Sciences in the 20th Century: Bridging Boundaries.
