A friend and I did this a few weeks ago (without the wine, being underage and whatnot)! We cooked an Indian feast and as everything simmered, we settled in and wrote a couple articles together, one of which was a DYK a few days later. It was so fun and we are making plans to collaborate again via Skype! I think this is a great way to get women involved.

Date: Thu, Jan 24, 2013 12:17 PM Awesome blog by Siko about the recent Wikipedia editing party she held recently. She invited a small group of girlfriends over and they drank wine and edited Wikipedia! Inspiring enough that I've decided to have a "Wiki, Wine with Women" party at my house Friday for a group of girl friends! https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/01/23/lets-throw-more-wikipedia-editing-parties/ I'm going to be promoting the heck out of this concept for WikiWomen's History Month!!![1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month -- *Sarah Stierch* */Museumist and open culture advocate/* >>Visit sarahstierch.com <http://sarahstierch.com><<
