A 2010 study by the Wikimedia Foundation revealed that barely 13 percent of Wikipedia contributors are female.
Sue Gardner, the Foundation's Executive Director, is concerned that
this gender imbalance has fueled an imbalance in information, with
topics that typically interest Wikipedia’s core contributor base, men in
their late teens and twenties, growing daily while other entries
stagnate with just a few sentences. Her goal is to increase the share of
female contributors to 25 percent by 2015. (For more background, check
out 9 Reasons Why Women Don't Edit Wikipedia).
Join us for this free 1/2 day workshop that aims to address the issue, starting at the very beginning of wiki editing. We'll
explore why it's so important for girls and women to contribute to
Wikipedia as well as how to join the editing community, including a
review of guidelines for engagement.
We'll get hands-on by showing how
to find information you need, setting up your Wikipedia user page, and
finally editing articles. Advanced students are recommended to bring a
project/topic of interest to work on in class, while beginners can
simply participate in one of the general "gardening" tasks the
instructors will provide.
While this workshop is specifically geared towards women and girls
(who already have a familiarity using computers), men and boys are
welcome to attend, especially parents and teachers. Come prepared to have fun, learn an invaluable skill and hang out with an amazing group of women and girls!
