The Planetary Science Wiki Edit-a-thon
The Planetary Science Wiki Edit-a-thon, organised by the Diversity Committee of the Europlanet Society in collaboration with WikiMujeres, Women in Red, WikiDonne, Wikimedia Belgium, and 500 Women Scientists, is an ongoing project. The main objective is to highlight diversity within the planetary science community.
EPSC2022 Wiki-Edit-a-thon
Once more, a Wiki Edit-a-thon took place during the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2022. It kicked off with a splinter session on Sunday 18 September, which provided basic training to start editing/writing Wikipedia articles.
Details: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2022/session/44847
Writing sessions took place daily in the Wiki Edit-a-thon booth (part of the Europlanet stands in the main exhibition hall of the Palacio de Congresos de Granada).
Monthly Meetings
A group has met for ongoing monthly meetings and continued to add and translate profiles. EPSC2022 will be an opportunity to expand the group and develop more new profiles and translations.
