[Sigah-l] 2nd Annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: call for satelliteevents

[Sian Evans]

Dear all,


Apologies for cross-posting!



Have you ever wondered how you might use your own particular skills and subject expertise to help build the world's most popular online research tool? Art+Feminism<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism> is a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia, and to encourage female editorship. On February 1st, 2014, approximately 600 participants, convened in 31 locations in 6 countries to edit Wikipedia articles on women and the arts. During this day, at least 101 new articles were created, and at least 90 articles improved. Highlights from the over 40 press stories include an LA Weekly feature story, the most shared article in ARTnews history, and a 30 minute podcast from Bitch Magazine. This year, we want your help!


The 2nd Annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<http://art.plusfeminism.org/?page_id=304> will take place at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA, 4 West 54 Street, on Saturday, March 7, 2015. Do you want to join participants in Washington DC, Los Angeles, Brussels, Vancouver, Paris and Amsterdam in organizing your own satellite event? Please contact info at art.plusfeminism.org<mailto:info at art.plusfeminism.org> if you want to get involved! This year, we're able to provide funding for food and childcare on a first-come, first-serve basis, so don't hesitate to be in touch.


We look forward to hearing from you!

The Art+Feminism team (Siân Evans + Dorothy Howard + Jackie Mabey + Michael Mandiberg)
