If you cannot make it to Brown in person but would still like to participate, you are more than welcome to do so remotely. So that we can count you as having taken part, please add your name to the participant list below and also add any and all contributions under the #Results section. (Note: There will not be a webinar aspect for online participants; simply log in and log your contributions below to have them recorded.) And be sure to use the Twitter hashtag #AdaWikithon if you tweet about the event!
The following is a sampling of suggested articles to create or add upon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! In addition to the suggestions below, editors may consider cleaning up articles on more well-known women STEMmers, such as Rosalind Franklin, Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Grace Hopper, Elizabeth Blackwell, Emmy Noether or Ada Lovelace herself. Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc. Editors may also choose to focus on women in archaeology, paleontology, and geology as part of Earth Science Week and International Archaeology Day.
Recipients of the following awards:

Note: Wikipedia pages that include lists of important women are all missing plenty of key people, so feel free to add to those lists
