Hi everyone,
I recently created a scoop.it for Women and Wikimedia.
http://www.scoop.it/t/women-and-wikimedia
Feel free to email me directly if I'm missing something or if you're own
language has content worth sharing through it. :)
Also, this weeks *Signpost* is featuring Women and Wikipedia as its
headline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-08-15/Women_…
I'm serving as the Wikipedian in Residence at the Archives of American Art
this summer, and I've been doing a lot of writing about female artists. I
recently edited an article about the Woman's
Building<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman%27s_Building>ng>,
a feminist art school and collective that was a catalyst for the feminist
art scene in the 1970s-80s. While writing the article, I started to create
a list of women who participated in the Building. I realized the majority
were not on Wikipedia, and a large portion of them are notable (in the
art/music/literary scenes). So, I created this list on my userspace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SarahStierch/Women%27s_artists_without_ar…
So for all those folks who believe there is little content to be contributed
to Wikipedia, I ask you to take a look at these red links. :D And perhaps
contribute an article!
Go team!
