On Friday, April 13 (3pm to 6pm), the
University of Oregon will be hosting a Wikipedia
edit-a-thon to create and improve Wikipedia articles about art and feminism. You can learn more at the
Dashboard page, or below.
Why We Edit
Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.
Let's change that. Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.
Who should attend: People of all gender identities and expressions. Please ask your fellow attendees for their pronouns of choice!
