Gender bias on Wikipedia is well documented. When biographies of women make up only 18 percent of the biographies on the English language Wikipedia site, information gets skewed and misrepresented. Let's change that! Join in to improve representation on Wikipedia for cis and trans women—no experience in editing required!
University librarians and faculty will be on hand to assist with research. As needed, tutorials will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers. Can’t be there the whole time? No problem. Join for as little or as long as you like. Katrina Jagodinsky, Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of History, will start off the event with brief remarks shortly after 1 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public. People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome to participate. Register for the Women's History Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon on March 28, 2022.
