Welcome! We're so excited you're interested in helping make the City of Boulder the first municipality to chronicle its whole history, by highlighting historical characters who have not gotten the credit they deserve.
This page is for organizing Inclusipedia events in collaboration with the Museum of Boulder. Feel free to edit this page, add citations, and play around as much as you'd like in order to get the hang of editing.
Today, we're going to do a run-through with you of how to edit pages, add citations, and start new pages.
First, you'll want to set up a username for yourself. Once you've logged in, search for someone you know is underrepresented on Wikipedia.
You can learn a lot about editing wikipedia via the Wikipedia Adventure: "Learn to edit Wikipedia in under an hour!".'
You'll find many helpful tips, and other examples of "redlinks" for women to consider writing articles about, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red.
A few guidelines for adding or editing pages:
- Bold the first time the person or organization is named.
- Always cite your sources using reliable sources, such as newspaper articles, books, scientific journals, and more.
- Having more than one author contribute to a draft before submitting it will increase the likelihood of publication.
