Welcome to my sandbox. Here I will practice editing and citing so that I can become a skilled Wikipedian. I want to know enough, at least, to host an Edit-a-Thon event at the university, where I am a librarian. First step is to insert a citation.

As author Astra Taylor's states: one must practice "taking back power and culture in the digital age. " The Internet should be, as Taylor's book title states, "The People's Platform."

The gender gap on Wikipedia takes many forms. One major problem for equality, is that only less than 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women. Gsartlibrarian (GS) is a librarian who has just started editing on Wikipedia. GS works as a librarian, so has some good credibility, but is not infallible. Please be patient as GS works slowly and carefully.

There are several good resources for holding my event. Art + Feminism has some guides to help out.
