Here's a write-up of a recent Wikimedia UK-supported event which you might find interesting.
I was one of the trainers for the event and I found it was particularly interesting working with a group of feminists who'd decided the coverage of a particular area on Wikipedia wasn't good enough and were on a bit of a mission to change it....

Sounds like everyone enjoyed the event, but that some of the content they created fell a little foul of notability guidelines. The blog post is here - http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/2014/08/ICA_feminist_Wiki-a-thon Thank you to the trainers who helped out on the day (the event page says EdwardX and LoopZilla) - it sounds like they are enthused enough to have another event, so well done everyone involved. Stevie PS if any editors feel like helping them with their notability issues, then I am sure it would be very welcome! -- Stevie Benton Head of External Relations Wikimedia UK+44 (0) 20 7065 0993 / +44 (0) 7803 505 173 @StevieBenton Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
