Hi everyone,
Please help me create lists and categories on the English Wikipedia that
may inspire people to write articles on their own native Wikipedia during
the challenge:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism/Challenge
Such lists and categories can be used as resources for potential
contributors to the Gendergap area of Art & Feminism articles at any time,
not just for this weekend-a-thon.
Gendergap articles in terms of art are female artist biographies, but also
articles about works of art by women, art exhibitions about for or by
women, female art collectors, female museum founders, etc.
I have been working to add a few lists to this category which is
overwhelmingly male:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_works_of_art
I have also been working on adding a few categories to this category, again
overwhelmingly male:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Paintings_by_artist
As a reminder, most articles about female artists on the English Wikipedia
are about artists who lived and worked in the US. The story of women in the
arts is way more international than that. Help me help others tell this
story!
Some stats according to the data from the CLARA database of the National
Museum of Women in the Arts, as indexed on Mix-n-Match thanks to Magnus
