Please join the CU-Boulder University Libraries & the Boulder Feminist Initiative 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 with men editing more articles than women. In an effort to change this, we’re gathering diverse women and allies together to celebrate women’s cultural achievements and edit Wikipedia articles about women in the arts.

  • What: Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon 2016
  • Date: Saturday, March 5, 2016
  • Time: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
  • Location: University of Colorado Boulder, Norlin Library, Room E260, Boulder, CO 80309
  • Cost: Free!

No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; tutoring will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers as needed. Women editors, especially women of color and diverse gender expression, are encouraged to attend. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you can get a head start with this training module.

Please bring a laptop if possible. There will be a limited number of computers available.
