Hello, My name is Morehshin Allahyari and I'm an artist/art activist based in SF. I am working on organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon event in SF at Kadist Art Foundation <http://www.kadist.org/> on March 7th (12-6PM) and am looking for experienced Wikipedia editors. If you are interested in helping with this event, please get in touch. My email is: morehshin(a)gmail.com See below for more information. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This year Kadist Art Foundation is participating in the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon! Please join us in addressing Wikipedia’s gender gap by attending our SF satellite edit-a-thon on March 7th, 2015 from 12-6PM. We will spend the afternoon participating in a communal update session as we work together to improve and add Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. You can check out our frequently-updated wiki as we plan the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/ArtandFeminism… *More on the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon:* Art+Feminism is a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female.[1] The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. __________________________ Morehshin Allahyari www.morehshin.com
