Every year on International Women’s Day
ONGOING SERIES
-less than 10% of editors on Wikipedia are women
Every year on International Women’s Day
/ le foyer du château /
hosts an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.
Information
Together, on our laptops, we will develop Wikipedia entries for women to be represented on the platform. The idea is to teach you how to become a Wikipedia editor, and for all of us to complete an entry on the night of International Women’s Day.
For those who have time beforehand, it would be great if you could already create your own Wikipedia account and editor name. We also encourage participants to work in pairs during the evening and support each other.
Please reserve the date.
Bring along a laptop, charger, and ideas or, even better, a draft text for a Wikipedia article that you would like to upload.
Art+Feminism is a rhizomatic campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, and to encourage female editorship. Last year, over 1,500 participants joined Art+Feminism’s second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 satellite events around the world, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia—including articles about female artists, feminist artistic movements, and feminist scholarship.
