Emory University students and faculty will contribute articles and entries they’ve researched and written to improve Wikipedia entries about women leaders, Latin-American folklore and international historical events relating to women’s rights.

Emory will host the Global Women Wikipedia Write-In on Tuesday in the university’s Woodruff Library.

Students are expected to upload articles about La Patasola, a female jungle monster from South American folklore; Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva, a Venezuelan poet; and several other Latin American and Caribbean-related people and topics. I

To participate, students must become registered Wikipedia contributors, which allows them to continue the project after Tuesday’s event.

The Write-In begins at 10 a.m.
