Emerging Technologies Edit-a-thon

part of Virtual WikiConference North America 2021

sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in honor of National Nanotechnology Day

National Nanotechnology Day once again falls during WikiConference North America this year. We'll start with brief presentations about the impact of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence on worker health. Then, we'll have an edit-a-thon focusing on nanotechnology researchers of color on both Wikipedia and Wikidata.
NIOSH is the leading federal agency conducting research and providing guidance on the effects of engineered nanomaterials on worker health, and methods to control or eliminate exposures, through its Nanotechnology Research Center. NIOSH also created the Center for Occupational Robotics Research in 2017, and the Emerging Technologies Branch in 2019 to facilitate forecasting, identifying, evaluating, and developing guidance on potential hazards in new or emergent technologies.
This event continues a series of WikiConference North America edit-a-thons on emerging technologies previously held in San Diego and Columbus.
Friday, October 8, 2:55–4:20 pm

where

WikiConference North America is virtual this year, so anyone anywhere in the world can participate! You need to register for the conference to attend the talks, but you may participate in the edit-a-thon by clicking the button below.

Agenda

[edit]

Because this event is geared towards experienced Wikimedians, a training will not be given.

Articles to work on

[edit]

This edit-a-thon focuses on nanotechnologists of color. Some suggested tasks are:

  • Create or improve Wikipedia articles.
  • Many of these people have Wikidata items, even if they don't have a Wikipedia article. You can add statements, perform maintenance tasks such as merging duplicate items, or create missing items.
  • Use the Author Disambiguator tool to link their publication items to their own item as an author.
