Hi All,

Just reporting that we held the planned Editathon in tribute to Adrianne
Wadewitz<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wadewitz_Tribute_Edit-a-thons>on
10 May in Sydney. In spite of the short notice, our efforts resulted
in
a number of good outcomes with which I think Adrianne would have been well
pleased and from which we will benefit. They are listed on the project
page<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/May_2014#Outcomes_of_the_event>but
in brief we achieved:

   - four new articles (one of which is DYK for today);
   - a new trained editor;
   - a relationship with the people at the Encyclopedia of Women and
   Leadership in Twentieth Century
Australia<http://www.womenaustralia.info/leaders/about.html>
   ;
   - a useful new table
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lankiveil/EWH_Article_List>that maps
   our content against theirs so we can continue to improve our articles as
   well as use their publication for reference;
   - a rise in awareness of WP as a result of a subsequent presentation
   given by our new user to the Digital Humanities Forum at the University of
   Melbourne.

Thanks in particular to Users: Lankiveil (who created the table), Wittylama
and Wikiwookie and please be welcoming to our new editor, User:Helouise.
