Description

On Tuesday, November 15, 2016, from 11.00AM to 4.00PM GMT-0600, the Vanderbilt University library in Nashville, TN, USA will be holding a Women in Science edit-a-thon. In order to allow new wikipedia users to create accounts, could you please lift the limit on the number of new accounts for our IP address (129.59.122.00 through 129.59.122.99) to 15?

Based on our last edit-a-thon, we anticipate approximately 20-25 attendees. We would like new users to be able to create accounts for wikipedia and wikimedia Commons.
