Women Write Wikipedia: A How-To Webinar
Have you ever looked something up in the Wikipedia? Obviously, right? But:
have you ever edited anything in the Wikipedia? Bet the answer is "no," and
that's a crying shame! Wikipedia, as you know, is quickly becoming the go-to
reference point for our collective history. But, over 80% of Wikipedia's
editors are men-which means that women's opportunities to document history
and knowledge are passing us by.
In this hour-long online workshop, WAM!Bassador of Technology Deanna Zandt
<http://www.deannazandt.com/> will teach you the basics of editing a
Wikipedia page, as well as the cultural norms that you'll need to know to be
a good Wikipedian. It's time to make sure that all genders are represented
in our brave new history!
