Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that only 8.5% of its contributors are female.

This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

Art+Feminism Monday, February 1, 2016 for Train the Trainer at the
Graduate Center, CUNY. We'll meet in the lobby of the Grad Center at 6:30 and head down to the library together. If you run late, we'll be in Room C196.01 (in the basement of the library). You'll have to bring a form of ID and check in with security in the front. The address is 365 5th Ave (at 34th St). This workshop is geared towards people who have stepped forward to volunteer at the March 5th event.
Registration required.
