Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Georgetown University Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for Women’s History Month



Georgetown University Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for Women’s History Month presented with support from Wikimedia DC

When
 * March 15, 2024 - 1:30pm-4:30pm

Where
 * Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.

Description
 * The theme for Women’s History Month this year at Georgetown University is “It’s all the Rage,” where we will engage feminist rage and emotion from intersectional lenses.


 * Did you know that only 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women?
 * Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?


 * Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?


 * Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.
 * No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.


 * Bring your own laptop.


 * Snacks will be provided.


 * This event is open to Georgetown Students, Staff, Faculty, Alumni.

Wikimedia Affiliates

 * Wikimedia movement affiliates model


 * Chapters
 * Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC


 * Wikimedia thematic organizations
 * Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.


 * User groups
 * Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism
