Wikipedia/Meetup/San Francisco/SFMOMA Art+Feminism Edit-a-Thon March2021

SFMOMA is delighted to host another edition of Art + Feminism’s ever-essential Wikipedia edit-a-thon series, this time as a virtual gathering. Join us online for an evening of collaborative Wikipedia updating, focusing on entries related to gender, art, and feminism.

Event Information

Date: Tuesday, March 9, 2021
Time: 4:00PM - 8PM
Location: Online on ZOOM, hosted by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Registration: FREE! RSVP here.

What to expect

To help us get this research party started, SFMOMA staff will provide a sampling of suggested topics and artists whose entries you might like create, augment, or update — including various artists from the upcoming SFMOMA exhibition, Nobody’s Darling. We will also be joined by an experienced Wikipedia editor, who will begin our program with a platform tutorial. We will then break out in to groups depending on the type of edits we wish to work on. The editor will remain available throughout the 4-hour session to answer questions. Drop-in attendance is welcome.

About Art+Feminism

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. Further, data analysis tools and computational linguistics studies have concluded that Wikipedia has fewer and less extensive articles on women; those same tools have shown gender biases in biographical articles. This is a problem.

When cis and trans women, non-binary people, people of color, and Indigenous communities are not represented in the writing and editing on the tenth-most-visited site in the world, information about people like us gets skewed and misrepresented. The stories get mistold. We lose out on real history. That’s why we’re here: to change it.

Since 2014, over 18,000 people at more than 1,260 Art+ Feminism events around the world have participated in our edit-a-thons, resulting in the creation and improvement of more than 84,000 articles on Wikipedia and its sister projects.

Ground Rules

We invite people of all gender identities and expressions to participate. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. You can learn how to do that here. We will be honoring Art + Feminism’s Safe Space/Brave Space policy. Please review the policy before attending.
