On Thursday, April 4, 2019, Fembot travels to Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, for an edit-a-thon to help train people to edit Wikipedia and continue to engage more women, people of color, and members of LGBTQIA communities to edit Wikipedia and to enhance diversity of content.
This Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon will contribute to the world of free and accessible knowledge, while at the same time working toward an anti-racist, gender inclusive history of everything within Wikipedia’s vast database.
At the Edit-a-Thon, we will be training people:
People can participate in a number of different ways: participants can come with their own projects or join teams that will be working on projects at the event; projects may involve identifying historical figures, organizations, and ideas that are missing from the online encyclopedia, researching entries, writing entries, locating images and getting permission to use them.
Join us as we ensure the digital legacy of women of color, trans, and/or gender non-conforming people, organizations, and ideas in multiple disciplines, fields, and periods of history!
Please sign your username below if you plan on or do attend.
Please add your suggestions for Wikipedia content improvement here. If you'd like to claim a specific topic to work on, simply add your name next to it.
This is where we will put our article successes during and after the event. Also follow along on Twitter: #fembot2019
