Wikipedia is the world’s sixth most popular website, but it has a gender problem. |
|||
More than 90% of Wikipedia’s editors are male, and content suffers from the bias of its editors. |
|||
Some Wikipedia editors are taking matters into their own hands, and “editathons” have been organised around the world to encourage people to come together, learn how to edit articles and contribute content on people and topics that have been ignored. |

Wikipedians of all experience levels are welcome to join us! We will copyedit, source, and write articles and can teach you how to do these things too! Bring a friend -- come one, come all! |
