Details

[edit]

Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia.

Each March, art communities around the world converge to correct Wikipedia’s gendered biases and improve the content of under-represented persons on the tenth most visited site in the world. Help balance the gender imbalance by creating and editing Wikipedia articles about women, non-binary, people of colour, and Indigenous artists, as well as feminist and activist art movements.

Vancouver is hosting its annual Edit-a-thon at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery on the University of British Columbia campus. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions to participate. We are committed to creating a safe space for all participants.

Together, let’s change things!
