Franklin Women Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Call for Nominations

Do you know of a woman or gender diverse person working in health and medical research who is regularly in the media, has won an award or been recognised in another way, but doesn’t have a Wikipedia page? You might be surprised how often this happens!

Wikipedia is one of the world’s most visited websites and yet it also mirrors many of society’s biases. In fact, just under 20% of the people profiled on Wikipedia are women. This means that many talented many women and their contributions to society are not getting the recognition they deserve. 

Our last two Editathons resulted in 51 new pages and over 100K words added for women working across health and medical research and other scientific disciplines.

You do NOT need to attend our Edit-a-thon to make a nomination! 

The Franklin Women team will collate your nominations and then cross-check them against Wikipedia’s notability criteria. The reviewed list will be made available at our Edit-a-thon for attendees to choose whose page they would like to work on.
