In honor of Women's History Month and the ArtAndFeminism Wikipedia Project, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton is hosting a Wikipedia workshop and edit-a-thon.

Questions

 * 1) Do I need to have extensive knowledge on visual arts? Nope! You will be finding information about the artists through online resources. The important thing is knowing how to choose a reputable source from which to find a good citation.

List of articles to work on
Participants should feel free to add the names of notable women who need a better Wikipedia presence, especially ones whose articles could be improved by citations or the inclusion of research resources. The list is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a starting point for work. If you are not sure where to start, don't hesitate to ask for help!
