March 8 event to elevate women artists on Wikipedia
February 25, 2021
On International Women’s Day, Cornellians are joining a global effort to raise the visibility of women artists, writers, and performers on Wikipedia. Whether experienced or unfamiliar with Wikipedia editing, anyone interested in making a difference through research is invited to participate in the Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, conducted via Zoom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., on March 8.
For just half an hour or for the entire duration of the event, participants can edit or create a biographical entry or just a footnote, or help check facts or upload images, with guidance from members of Cornell University Library and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art who are co-organizing the edit-a-thon.
