Background

Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, Women in Design, Wikiproject Women Wikipedia Design and WikiProject Women in Red, in hosting the  Women in Architecture Wikipedia edit-a-thon global campaign of editing events for improving and increasing the presence of cultural, historic, and artistic information on Wikipedia pertaining to the lives and works of women in architecture.
