Wikipedia:Edit-a-thon/Whose Knowledge image campaign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wikimedia Tunisian Usergroup will host an online edit-a-thon focusing on important but underrepresented Tunisian women. from 25 March 2pm – to 31 March 4:00 pm.

#VisibleWikiWomen challenge[edit]

The Whose Knowledge organisation have lunched a new campaign! to increase visibility of women on Internet, It is estimated that less than 20% of Wikipedia articles of important women have pictures. Tunisian women are a fraction of that number. Since Wikipedia is the 5th most visited website in the world, gaps in Wikipedia have a big impact on the broader internet. Women’s knowledge and contributions to the world are invisible, let's make women more visible online!
