The Wikimedians of Colorado User Group celebrated the 18th anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia by joining in with the 500 Women Scientists - Women in STEM Wiki-thon in Boulder on Saturday, Mar 16, 2019 at 3:30 PM.
The event was a great success, with 32 people signed up as editors on the 500 Women Scientists Boulder March Wiki-thon Programs & Events Dashboard, 32 articles edited, 132 total edits, and 6.29K words added.
We met at the Boulder Public Library, Main Branch.
The main event page was the Eventbrite page which gave us a sense for how many would be showing up, and linked to the page to register so that edits were counted towards the group effort.
