Women's History Wikipedia Edit-a-thon Event

Tuesday, March 28, 2023
1:00pm - 4:00pm
221 - Peterson Room Love Library

   This event is free and open to the public. People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome to participate. 

Do I need to know how to edit?

No, We'll teach you.

Gender bias on Wikipedia is well documented. When biographies of women make up only 18% of the biographies on the English language Wikipedia site, information gets skewed and misrepresented. Let's change that! Join us to improve representation on Wikipedia for cis and trans women, no experience required!

University librarians and faculty will be on hand to assist with research and as needed, tutorials will be provided for Wikipedia newcomers.

Can’t be there the whole time?

No problem. Join us for as little or as long as you like.

Track your impact: Event dashboard

A Wikipedia Dashboard is a tool that allows users to sign-in to a Wikipedia program or event. Once you log into the program, all edits you make on Wikipedia will be tracked and attributed to our event, giving everyone a clear picture of our editing efforts. If you already have a Wikipedia account, please add your username to our dashboard.
