Dear all,
India has a lot of successful women scientists who have made a mark in their respective fields. However, it is unfortunate that these women still do not have an existence on Wikipedia. Read this blog post<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/03/13/celebrating-womens-day-the-wiki-way/>to know a little more. We are organizing a Women Scientists<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India_(2014)>edit-a-thon tomorrow and day after. Join us by editing as many articles as possible during these the two days. Apart from creating articles, you could also help us by correcting or expanding existing ones. Adding names to the existing list of scientists would go a long way too. Find more details about the event here<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/International_Women%27s_Day,_India_(2014)>. Please add your name as a participant and feel free to start editing over a cup of coffee :-) There is an opt in<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17_YMl1bLV0ove3Dsn-LhNQkNNiszWpUag0Ko01tm_kI/viewform>we would like you to fill up so that we can understand editor behavior better.
