It gets better. This morning we have 104 articles in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikibomb2014 so clearly more were finished (or tracked down and added to the category) last night.

Over 80 articles are known to have been created but we are unsure of the output of many of the online participants. We are trying to gather the articles into a hidden category [[Category:Wikibomb2014]] If you want to help tidy up any of them. Most participants were new to Wikipedia editing so the articles aren't likely to confirm to the MoS. Sent from my iPad On 14 Aug 2014, at 3:55 am, "Kerry Raymond" <[email protected]> wrote: Reminder. Wikibomb is on today (Thursday 14 August). I understand around 150 people are registered for the event (either at the Academy of Science or virtually); while they are probably all well-intentioned, many will be new to Wikipedia editing. Your patience and friendly assistance is requested in relation to the development of new articles and with linking to existing articles. I will be at the event physically so say Hello if you are there too.

The Australian Academy of Science is running an editathon in Canberra on August 14 to boost the coverage of female Australian Scientists on Wikipedia. For those not in Canberra, there is the option to participate online as well. It was covered in The Age on Sunday[1], and registrations close this Friday[2]. Whilst Wikimedia Australia is looking at sending somebody as an official point of contact, I'd strongly encourage experienced and new editors alike to get involved with this valuable initiative. Cheers, -Michael Billington (Cross-posted to WP:AWNB for those not on the list) [1] http://www.theage.com.au/technology/sci-tech/dr-who-campaign-to-boost-digita l-profile-of-australias-female-scientists-20140726-zwvw5.html [2] http://www.science.org.au/node/324884 _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
