Please join Wikipedia Connection and the Wexner Center for the Arts Student Engagement Group, student organizations at the Ohio State University, for a fun, inclusive one-day event that brings together diverse communities to create and improve Wikipedia articles related to gender, feminism, and the arts. This event is put on in conjunction with Women’s History Month 2019 presented by the Student Life Multicultural Center.
Despite its wide reach, Wikipedia suffers from a severe gender imbalance: since most editors are men, articles conform to men's interests and perspectives.
In an effort to change this, we are gathering diverse women, people of all gender identities, and allies together to celebrate female and non-binary cultural achievements and openly discuss ongoing challenges caused by structural sexism and discrimination.
This year, Art+Feminism has expanded their “focus to include the histories of gender non-binary artists and activists.” Learn more about Art+Feminism and their 2019 campaign, Gender + The Non-Binary at artandfeminism.org and learn more about the gender gap at WikiProject Women and Gender Bias on Wikipedia.
Food (including vegetarian options), refreshments, and Wikipedia goodies will be provided.
Special thanks to the Wexner Center for the Arts for the event space, as well as promotional and logistical support!

Tracking Edits[edit]
We will be using a tool called the Dashboard to track edits, making it much easier to gather data, understand Art+Feminism’s contribution to Wikipedia, and report back to the Wikimedia Foundation to ensure that the project continues to be funded.
Before editing, please make sure to visit this page and join the program by logging in with your Wikipedia account or signing up for an account. You will have to type in the passcode "AF" before joining the program.
It is imperative that every editor logs in with Dashboard before any edits are made.
