More Female Architects on Wikipedia (sometimes stylized as Mehr Architektinnen auf Wikipedia) is a campaign to improve coverage of women architects on Wikipedia.

Background


Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

Interested in organizing an event?
We encourage you to address Wikipedia’s gender gap by organizing satellite edit-a-thons over International Women’s Day weekend, March 7-8, 2015. Those interested in organizing a satellite event are encouraged to contact us via email at [mailto:info@art.plusfeminism.org info@art.plusfeminism.org]. See Meetup/ArtAndFeminism/HowTo for further instructions.
