Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon In-Person
Miss this event but still want to learn more about editing Wikipedia? Make an appointment with Librarian Laura Surtees to learn more.
Join us for an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Monday March 26 from 11am-2pm in Dalton 119. This event is designed to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia and encourage female editorship. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. This lack of female participation has led to an alarming dearth of content about women and art in the world's most popular online research tool. Let's keep making a difference!
Don't know how to edit on Wikipedia? No prior experience is necessary. We will provide tutorials for beginner Wikipedians, ongoing editing support, reference materials, and some refreshments. We welcome participation from all gender identities and expressions.
Feel free to drop in for all or part of the edit-a-thon. Please bring your own laptop, power cord, and any ideas for entries that need updating or creation. If possible, please create a Wikipedia account before the event.
