Workshop + Group Editing
Monday, Feb. 10th, 2025

Zoom (register here)
Wikipedia is among the most visited websites in the world, but even Wikipedia’s staff acknowledge that its content reflects its editorship (75.6% of US editors are white; 90% are male). These editors decide which topics are "notable" and therefore worthy of inclusion, which often excludes genderqueer and female individuals and topics from the global South. Read more in our blog post, “The Bias of Notability in Wikipedia.”
You can be part of the solution! Join us on February 10 on Zoom for a tutorial for the beginner Wikipedian, then edit some Wikipedia entries yourself.
Sign up for a free Wikipedia account in advance (optional, read about creating a good Wikipedia username). You may bring topic ideas or articles you’d like to edit, or we’ll help you find a way to make a difference in an area of interest to you.
This event is open to all who have registered. Register here!
Nope! We'll teach you.
