Indiana University Bloomington Meetup & Edit-a-thon
As part of the Art+Feminism campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries and Cyberinfrastructure for Digital Humanities are hosting an edit-a-thon meetup. The event will focus on expanding or improving Wikipedia entries for notable women artists, including women artists from the state of
Indiana. Activities will also include new editor orientation and training. Snacks will be provided!
The following is a sampling of suggested articles to create or add upon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! In addition to the suggestions below, editors may consider cleaning up articles on more well-known women artists. Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc. Editors may also choose to focus on women in design, performing arts, music, architecture, literature, philosophy, politics, etc.
Here are some suggestions (below) for Indiana women artists who currently lack articles or whose articles need expansion or editing. Please utilize the resources of the IU Libraries and don't hesitate to ask for help!
Sign up! Add your Wikipedia User Name to this section by clicking the blue button below (follow instructions). Your name will be added to the bottom of this page
Don't worry! If you haven't edited Wikipedia before and don't have a Wikipedia User Name yet, we will help you on the day of the event! And remember to have fun!
