Increasingly, nonprofits are leading the charge to ensure that Wikipedia content is better balanced. Libraries, galleries, museums and universities are often behind the edit-a-thons, and there’s an emerging breed of “editor-activists.”
The Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted a Wikipedia an edit-a-thon aimed at adding or expanding entries for artists whose work is included in the current exhibition “Represent: 200 Years of African American Art.”

Hi there,
The article is pretty fair in its treatment of our efforts (and those of other nonprofits) to increase the representation of traditionally marginalized voices.

"Nonprofits lead the charge to ensure Wikipedia content is better balanced." @npquarterly https://nonprofitquarterly.org/policysocial-context/25863-one-wikipedia-appr...
