Oregon Ducks, along with the University of Oregon’s Center for the Study of Women in Society and the Fembot Collective is launching a project to write women into Wikipedia! This year’s national Women's History Month theme is: “Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives," and provides an opportunity for all of us to weave women’s stories, individually and collectively, into the essential fabric of our nation’s history. In keeping with that theme, the University of Oregon will be launching its very own Wiki-Edit project: UO Weaving Women Into Wikipedia. We'll be collaborating to improve content and contribute to the world of free knowledge to account for the invisibility or the lack of representation of sexual and gender minorities on Wikipedia.
Have you ever gone to Wikipedia looking for information about scientists, writers, scholars, film-makers, artists, activists, politicians, musicians, etc. – only to find the same gender marginalizations that occur in traditional Encyclopedias? Did you know Wikipedia is an open forum in which everyone can participate in the creation of knowledge? Despite this fact, did you know that less than 20% of Wikipedia contributors are women?
This project seeks to bring Oregon Ducks together to collaborate in working against gender bias on Wikipedia. We seek to ensure the digital legacy of women, trans, and/or gender non-conforming people in multiple discipline, fields, and periods of history.
Add your suggestions for Duck Wikipedians to tackle here! Restrict your suggestions to gender-specific content, please. For ideas, explore the master Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month/Missing articles page.
