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.

Thanks to anyone who helped. 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.

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.

Hi all,

 

Posting some information about a free event which may interest Australian
Wikimedians.

 

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
