[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Gendergap] Webinar on editing for Wikipedia Women

[Bishakha Datta]

I really liked both the idea and the way it was worded. Any takers for an
Indian webinar along similar lines?

Cheers

Women Write Wikipedia: A How-To Webinar

Have you ever looked something up in the Wikipedia? Obviously, right? But:
have you ever *edited* anything in the Wikipedia? Bet the answer is “no,”
and that’s a crying shame! Wikipedia, as you know, is quickly becoming the
go-to reference point for our collective history. But, over 80% of
Wikipedia’s editors are men–which means that women’s opportunities to
document history and knowledge are passing us by.

In this hour-long online workshop, WAM!Bassador of Technology Deanna
Zandt<http://www.deannazandt.com/>will teach you the basics of editing
a Wikipedia page, as well as the
cultural norms that you’ll need to know to be a good Wikipedian. It’s time
to make sure that all genders are represented in our brave new history!

FREE. Choose from either
Wednesday, March 23 at 2PM ET

or
Sunday, March 27 at 2PM ET

To register, email Rachel <rachel at womenactionmedia.org>.
