Description

Celebrate Women’s History Month by making women’s stories more discoverable online! Join us for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon focusing on women who have been made visible through exhibitions, publications, and programs across the Smithsonian.

Wikipedia is a vital link within the network of online information. Women with articles in Wikipedia are easier to find. We’ll boost the discoverability of these women by creating and editing articles in Wikipedia. Help us share the stories of women musicians, fiber artists, journalists, doctors and more.

Event Schedule:

11 am - 12 pm: Introduction to SAWHM’s Discoverability Lab & Wikipedia Editing

12 pm - 2 pm: Focused editing

This event will have two parts:

Getting started with Wikipedia edits: 11 am - 12 pm

Wikipedia edit-a-thon: 12 pm - 2 pm

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
