Wikipedia:WikiProject Hollins University/Art+Feminism March 2018

The Wyndham Robertson Library is hosting an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon again in 2019! Join us for an event focused on updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to gender, art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support! We invite people of all gender identities and expressions to participate.

About
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women. Let's fix that! Art + Feminism works on adding content to Wikipedia related to gender, art and feminism. At Hollins, we plan to focus on artists associated with the university as faculty, alums, or artists-in-residence.

In 2018, the library co-hosted our first-ever two Edit-a-Thon events with the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum.

Preparation
Please RSVP on our Facebook event page, or fill out this form so that we know how many to expect and have enough refreshments.

You can learn how to create a Wikipedia account before the event here. We can also help you create one at the event.

The Black Lunch Table
The Black Lunch Table is an ongoing collaboration between artists Jina Valentine and Heather Hart which intends to fill holes in the documentation of contemporary art history. In its 10 year existence, the BLT has taken a variety of forms including the Wikipedia edit-a-thon. They have a comprehensive list of articles that need to be created/improved and a list of resources to help with editing.

Women in Red
Women in Red (WiR) is a WikiProject whose objective is to turn "redlinks" into blue ones within the project scope: women's biographies and works by women. They have a redlist index by occupation of stubs/articles that need to be created. This list includes visual artists, art historians, individuals notable for contributions to theatre, and more.
