On November 30, 2024, the Female Wikimedians Edit-a-thon took place at the Tamale College of Education in Ghana. This event aimed to recruit, train, and empower female Wikimedians to contribute to Wikipedia. During the event, 9 new Wikipedia accounts were created, and participants went on to create 99 new articles and improve over 100 existing ones.
The event witnessed significant improvement in participants’ editing skills and confidence.The event featured comprehensive training sessions on Wikipedia editing basics, providing opportunities for networking and knowledge-sharing among female Wikimedians. Participants were also introduced to resources supporting their editing journey on Wikipedia.We extend our gratitude to the Dagbani Wikimedians User Group for their support through an individual grant, which made this event possible.This event demonstrates the potential for increasing diversity and inclusion within the Wikimedia community. We look forward to building on this momentum in the future!
