I sent a version of this message on September 14 which, looking at the
archives, it seem was never sent out to the list! In any case, it's in
the quoted text of my last email. I apologize for the late notice this
creates!
I hope some of you can still come to my class!
Later,
Mako

Dear Gender gap mailing list members,
We are in the process of organizing the third annual international
Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. The New York event will be held at the
Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA on
Saturday, March 5, 2016. We are looking for support in the form of
participants and suggestions.
Last year, over 1500 participants at the Museum of Modern Art in New York
and more than 75 node events around the world participated in
Art+Feminism’s second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the
creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500
articles on Wikipedia. *Together, we can double those numbers in 2016! *
If you’re interested in hosting an edit-a-thon in your city over the
weekend of March 4-6, 2016, please be in touch. There are funds available
to help node events pay for childcare and refreshments. You can reach us
at: info(a)art.plusfeminism.org.
If you want to help out in other ways, we are also gathering research
materials for the March event:
- Suggested Topics
- Articles needing creation
- Articles needing expansion and/or cleanup
- Suggestions for online research materials on women and the arts
- Any existing documentation you might be willing to share on Wikipedia
editing or conflict resolution online
- You can find more information about the project and upcoming events on
our meet-up page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism
- Or on our website: http://art.plusfeminism.org
I encourage you to forward this message on at your discretion.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
All best,
Siân Evans + Jacqueline Mabey + Michael Mandiberg
