On Tuesday 25 March 2014 the Royal Society are holding a Wikipedia edit-a-thon event for people who want to learn how to edit Wikipedia, in particular topics relating to diversity in science and technology in relation to geography, culture, gender, ethnicity and disability. New and experienced editors are welcome; there will be training sessions for those new to editing, and experienced helpers will be available. For more details on the event and to suggest potential topics see the event page on Wikipedia.
