Wikipedia:Hatemag Feminist Edit-a-thon Berlin

The event will be hosted by E.b.lizard and Earl ysp atz '''Talk. The workshop is part of the "Kongress der Möglichkeiten" organized by Hate Magazin.

Did you notice that an important female artist is not represented properly on Wikipedia? Or are you an expert on an issue that still lacks a wikipedia entry? If you always wanted to edit a wikipedia article but were unsure how to do it, join us in the Wikipedia editing workshop.

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 13 % of its contributors identify as female. Since then, the numbers have improved only slightly. This workshop aims to change the participation and coverage a of women on the online encyclopedia. You can read about who writes wikipedia here: Wikipedians.

All levels of editing experience (by female identified and their allies) are welcome! We will start with a basic editing tutorial, and discuss the different rules and terms together. Later on, we can make the first short edits to pages, or draft a new entry and discuss the steps for improvement.
