Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Wikipedia Art + Feminism wants you! Become a Wikipedia editor, and get involved in this international effort to improve public knowledge, specifically, coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia and Wikidata. Everyone is welcome—no matter your gender identity, and regardless of your experience with editing. Editors contribute in different ways: writing entries, adding footnotes, translating text, uploading images, and looking up information. Others can cheer us on and get the buzz going on social media. Join us in Ithaca as we address gender inequities in Wikipedia and Wikidata, and focus on solidarity—improving, creating, and enhancing entries that paint a fuller picture of how we all participate in the arts.

We’ll be meeting up in person on Friday, April 11, from 10am to 4pm in Olin Library Room 107, and from 1pm to 5pm at the Tompkins County Public Library (BorgWarner East). In addition to Wikipedia editing, have fun with other creative activities–zine-making, button-making, and coloring.
