Feminism Wikimarathon at KHAS

Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not. The lack of female participation skews content. 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 beginner Wikipedians. 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.
