Computers in Chemistry Edit-a-Thon

Join us for an edit-a-thon at the American Chemical Society! We'll focus on articles about computers in chemistry — the theme of the American Chemical Society's 251st National Meeting & Exposition — but attendees are welcome to work on any other topic related to chemistry as well. This event is organized as part of the Wikipedia Year of Science.

Note on Conflict of Interest: Articles closely related to ACS might pose conflict of interest problems if edited by ACS employees. These include American Chemical Society, Chemical Abstracts Service, ACS journals, and other ACS programs and services. Individuals are reminded that conflict of interest editing is strongly discouraged. This includes edits to articles about yourself, your employer, and others with which you have a relationship. See Wikipedia's conflict of interest project and the best practices essay for guidelines.
