Wikipedia, a free and open encyclopedia, is one of the top 10 most-viewed websites in the world. But did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI) is committed to help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries -- and you can help!
Before collaborating on the entries, you’ll receive a Wikipedia training and hear from naturalist Dara M. Wilson, Co-Chair of the Black Birders Week Advisory Group. Attendees of all experience levels can participate! Wikipedia training will be provided.
Due to limited space, please register to attend. And, if possible, please bring a laptop with you.
