Rosalind Flynn Hinton 18:39, 17 February 2021 (UTC)  1000 Women in Religion Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the American Academy of Religion Western Conference March 19-21, 2021   Hello and welcome!

Event Description
Did you know that only 18% of the biographical subjects and 9% of the editors on Wikipedia are women? WikiProject 1000 Women in Religion is a major initiative of the American Academy of Religion and Society of Biblical Literature (AAR/SBL) Women's Caucus. The project aims to address the under-recognized work of cis and transgender women in the world's religious, spiritual and wisdom traditions by adding 1,000+ women in religion onto Wikipedia.

At this workshop, participants will sign up as wiki-editors, create their personal user page, learn the basics of editing and make their first wiki-edits. We can also help you to start a new article about a woman who is not on Wikipedia but should be included. Our worklist will focus on women of color who are: women scholars of religion or faith-based activists; Participants are also welcome to work on women from any religious, spiritual or wisdom tradition who are not on the worklist. There will be plenty of time for questions and time for hands on assistance.

No need to be a technological expert!

Join us in our effort to address gender bias on Wikipedia by improving the coverage of women in religion on Wikipedia.

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. DON’T FORGET YOUR COMPUTER!
