Please join us for a fun, inclusive one-day event that brings together diverse communities to create and improve Wikipedia articles related to women in the arts. Despite its wide reach, Wikipedia suffers from a severe gender imbalance: since most editors are men, articles conform to men's interests and perspectives. In an effort to change this, we are gathering diverse women and allies together to celebrate women's cultural achievements and discuss openly ongoing challenges caused by structural sexism. (Learn more about the gender gap atWikiProject Women. More aboutArt+Feminism campaign on their page.)
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; as needed throughout the event, tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers.Women editors, especially women of color and diverse gender expression, are particularly encouraged to attend. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you can get a head start with thisthis training module.
add sources! If you find a good source but aren't sure how to add it into the text, include it in external resources or on the talk page for other editors to use
use #artandfeminism on social media to connect with edit-a-thons around the world! see#noweditingaf for what's being edited.
