You
know what would be cool - if we could also try to coordinate some
translations of articles into other languages after or during the
event. I've participated in events where the event was in Mexico,
and we collaborated on Etherpad to write articles and translate
them. It was really cool and a lot of good content came from it!
But that's just an idea, for use now or to table for later!
You're lucky to have Women's History Month, in France we
have "Women's Rights Day"', often translated in mass medias to
"Woman's Day'" and, as women, we are always told the oh so
funny joke "don't do the laundry today.... Leave it for
tommorow". -_-"
Ugh, yes, I've heard jokes like that before regarding doing
laundry. So let's turn that into "Do my laundry for me, we're
editing Wikipedia!" :) I do know that Women's History Day is March
8, but the US and the UK decided to make it month long. It is
called "International Women's Month," so I decided to say let's
own it no matter where we are!
I'll try to involve feminist organizations in the Wikipedia
edition, how writting women's history is a feminist act, etc.
Anyone has the experience of dealing with teaching NPOV to
polical organizations and if it ends well ?
That sounds wonderful. I do know a few people who have worked with
NPOV and political groups. [[User:Carolmooredc]] has recently put
on an event that worked with advocacy groups and taught them how
to edit neutrally. http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/One_day_training
The talk page also has her input from the recent event. I have no
clue if this would be helpful, but it's a PowerPoint I presented
to the Smithsonian Institution staff about NPOV and COI editing:

I'm pretty sure that [[
User:Trizek]],
[[User:Jean-Frédéric]], [[User:Remi_Mathis]] and [[
User:Serein]] have some experience as well. They're pretty active
in GLAM and perhaps they have some French resources.
Even if we take this off list or develop something on Wiki, let me
know how I can help! Thanks Caroline for carrying the French
torch!
