Strategic Goal 1[edit]
Increase the quality and quantity of coverage of subjects that are currently underrepresented on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, with a particular focus on cultural content.
Outcomes[edit]
- First new Wikipedia article created by Gender and Equality Archives PhD intern, Francesca Vavotici: Helen Lowe (chartered accountant) following training on 6 November 2018.
- Worked with Navino Evans at Histropedia and helped facilitate the creation of a new Women's Suffrage in Scotland timeline in a new collaboration between Learning, Teaching Services and the Library & University Collections team. The timeline brings together information from new Wikipedia articles written in the last year by Wiki Women in Red editors, open images on Wikimedia Commons and structured data in Wikidata.
- Met with Chris Fleet at National Library of Scotland on 14 December to show me how we might work with historical maps and open data to plot the remaining locations of accused witches in Scotland. We are now recruiting a Data and Visualisation intern to work on this.
- Liaised with National Records of Scotland to openly release an image of Edinburgh suffragette Maude Edwards who famously slashed at the King's portrait in 1914. Created a new template to make any future National Records of Scotland image releases consistent and automatically link back to their online catalogue.
- Created a new template to make any future University of Edinburgh Centre for Research Collections image releases consistent and automatically link back to their online catalogue with a link to a IIIF Mirador image viewer.
