The
Berkeley Center for New Media is hosting
Sarah Stierch as the Susan B. Miller Fellow. As part of Stierch's programming, she is hosting Wikipedia workshops and edit-a-thons. These events aim to educate the public, students, and especially women on the importance of contributing to Wikipedia. Females comprise approximately 10-20% of editors on the world's 5th biggest website (on any given day).
This event carries forward the momentum gained from
WikiWomen's History Month. This event is one of many around the world that aims to engage more women to edit Wikipedia, and to improve coverage about women's history on Wikipedia. This event will be facilitated by
User:SarahStierch.
We will open with a brief introduction to Wikipedia policies, and then dive into editing. Participants will be encouraged to either write new articles about subjects that interest them, or to expand articles that interest them. All participants will have "edits that stick" by 5 PM.
- Date: Saturday, April 5, 2014
- Time: 1–5pm
- Venue:
2nd Floor, CITRIS, Sutardja Dai Hall,
University of California, Berkeley campus,
Berkeley, California
- Cost: Free, of course!

- Participants: This event is open to anyone interested in improving women's history coverage on Wikipedia. No wiki editing experience is necessary, support will be on hand to help you out! Female editors are specifically encouraged to attend. Can't be there the whole time? No problem, join us as long as you can.
- Details: Participants should bring their own laptop and power cords. Light food and drinks will be provided.

- I'll be attending, and can probably also set up on-campus wifi access for anyone in attendance if Sarah can't, though I'll have to poke at it first.
