|description = Ada Lovelace Day is an international day to celebrate the contributions of self-identifying women to science, technology, engineering, and math. So to celebrate their achievements, 500 Women Scientists and our allies, as well as the DC Science Writer's Association, are gathering at the West End DC Public Library on Saturday, October 13th to share their work on Wikipedia's pages.
  
  +
Join Wikimedia DC and the Capitol Hill Chorale as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Shakers in America. Although small in number, the Shakers have exercised an outsized influence on American culture; we honor their egalitarian spirit with an edit-a-thon dedicated to writing notable Shaker women into Wikipedia.
  +
This event will include new editor training and a special tour of the library.

−
While Wikipedia is the fifth most popular website in the world, notching up more than 32 million views a day, less than 18% of its English-language biographies are about women. So in honor of Ada Lovelace—and her contributions to mathematics and computing—we'll work to add more entries to Wikipedia and give you the tools to keep making the Internet less sexist after our Wiki-thon. All you have to do is come armed with a laptop or tablet!
