Did you know that only 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women?<br />
Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?<br />
Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?<br />
<br />
Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.<br />

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.<br />

|place = Anacostia Community Museum<br />
|address = <br />
|description = Wikipedia is one of the most highly visited websites in the world, but representation of women of color is strikingly low—both in terms of who contributes to the site and the subjects they write about. Many local and national environmental justice women activists are not represented among Wikipedia's many biographies.<br />
<br />
Join us to set the record straight, make some friends, and celebrate the activists who have fought to make our urban environments greener. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; training will be provided.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in coordination with our friends at Wikimedia DC.<br />

Did you know that less than 20% of biographies in English-language Wikipedia are about women? Help change that by joining the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on March 27th for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. Attendees will edit and create Wikipedia articles inspired by the museum’s first digital exhibition, “Becoming Visible.”<br />
<br />
This event will have two parts:<br />
1) Getting started with Wikipedia edits: 11am-12pm<br />
2) Wikipedia edit-a-thon: 12pm-2pm<br />
<br />
Attendees can join us for one of both parts depending on their availability and experience with Wikipedia editing. New editors are encouraged to attend the introductory session at 11am.<br />
<br />
This event is presented with support from Wikimedia DC.<br />

Wikimedia DC continues to hold collaborative editing events (edit-a-thons), which is our main institutional partnership program activity. Most of these are public events organized by our staff and include training for new editors and users. Our partner organizations typically request themes that align with their missions, upcoming events or initiatives.<br />
<br />
During the 2022–23 fiscal year, Wikimedia DC ran or supported 18 events in partnership with 13 institutional partners and two for-profit company seeking a rewarding volunteer experience.

==='''North American Hub Research Project'''===<br />
<br />
In April 2023, Wikimedia DC was awarded a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation for the purpose of researching the feasibility of creating a North American Hub. A potential hub would consist of Wikimedia's North American affiliates, chapters, and user groups.<br />
<br />
'''Working team'''<br />
*Ariel Cetrone, Institutional Partnerships Manager, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Peter Meyer, President, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Sara Snyder, Treasurer, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Richard Knipel, President, Wikimedia NYC<br />
*[[m:North_American_Hub_Research_Project|Advisory Committee]]<br />
<br />
From May to December of 2023, the working team, under the lead of Wikimedia DC, surveyed and interviewed Wikimedians who are associated with existing or emerging chapters, affiliates or user groups, as well as those who may wish to create organized Wikimedia entities in the future. The goals of the research were to 1) determine the needs of North American Wikimedia entities and interested parties and 2) decide if a North American hub can help meet these needs and grow capacities through collaboration, services, and support.<br />
<br />
Participants in the research phase identified and ranked '''three main service and support areas''' for a potential hub to prioritize.<br />
<br />
'''Priority 1: Community and capacity building'''<br />
<br />
*Programs, events, and initiatives<br />
*Education<br />
*Administration<br />
*Professional development<br />
*Communications<br />

'''Priority 2: Movement'''<br />

*Advocacy<br />
*Online safety<br />

* Other conferences and workshops?<br />
<br />
==Organizational development==<br />
* Board election in fall 2023. For the first time we did it with an online software platform instead of by postal mail, following the lead of WMNY. This went smoothly overall, and it made things easier for us and voters, sped up the operation, and reduced costs.<br />
* We budgeted for strategic planning, intended to take place in summer 2024, for the first time in many years<br />
* We regained nonprofit status in early 2023, retroactively.<br />
* We filed for two grants and completed two contract projects: the ARTT Guide and Wikicred for 2023.<br />

One event we had in person was at the National Gallery of Art. With our partners there we uploaded images, edited articles, did research in their beautiful library, and took a tour guided by the curator of the Called to Create exhibition.<br />
<br />
==== Research projects ====<br />
Wikimedia DC has been invited to participate in research and development efforts, and research-related grants now form a sizable part of our activity. We are working with Hacks/Hackers to develop software that will help evaluate the reliability and quality of English Wikipedia articles related to vaccines, and then to use information on reliable sources generally to support good information on social media. We have had past success in software development, having co-sponsored the effort to create the Wiki Art Depiction Explorer. We expect this line of activity to continue in the future and to represent a sizable portion of our funding.<br />
<br />

Wikimedia DC partnered with other WMF affiliates to run WikiConference North America 2021 in October, 2021. Over 200 people attended online, and many sessions were broadcast in both English and Spanish. Wikimedia DC was the fiscal sponsor of the event and wrote most of the final report. We planned a similar conference for late 2022. The event was funded mainly by a grant from the WMF.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC organized judges and sponsored prizes in the [[w:Wikipedia:Wiki Science Competition 2021 in the United States|2021 Wiki Science Competition in the United States]]. Participants uploaded their submissions during November and December 2021. The U.S. competition received 391 contributions across seven categories. These included 142 images of wildlife, 34 microscopy images, 24 non-photographic and video submissions, 7 images of people in science, 90 general category images, and 52 images as part of sets. The jury selected up to seven winners in each category to represent the United States at the international level. Of the 33 awardees, only 7 had previous contributions to Wikimedia Commons. In addition, the panels selected five submissions as "Jury's Choice" awards, each of which receives a $200 prize from Wikimedia District of Columbia.<br />
<br />
We helped arrange Wikimedia Hackathon days (around May 21) and a Pittsburgh Wikimania meetup in person (circa Aug 11).<br />
<br />
==Organizational development==<br />
Wikimedia DC had a change of officers in January, after last fall's Board elections. Longtime president Kirill Lokshin has moved on. Peter Meyer is now the president, John Sadowski vice president, Diane Shaw secretary, and Sara Snyder treasurer. The new officers have been learning their roles and systems. Our Institutional Partnership Manger, Ariel Cetrone, continues in her position. The Wikimedia DC Board of Directors held six [[Meetings (2022%E2%80%932023)|meetings]] during the 2021–22 fiscal year, on [[Media:Wikimedia DC Board - 2020-10-31 - Minutes.pdf|November 15, 2021]]; [[Media:WMDC minutes 012322 - final.pdf|January 23, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0207.pdf|February 7, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0516.pdf|May 16, 2022]]; [[Media:WMDC-minutes-2022-0718.pdf|July 18, 2022]]; and [[Media:WMDC Board meeting 09262022 minutes.pdf|September 26, 2022]].<br />
<br />
The chapter had fallen behind on tax filings, and has now caught back up. The annual tax forms (Form 990-EZs) are on our web site. The chapter had to re-file for tax-deductible status, and has regained it. This "reinstatement" is retroactive, meaning member donations throughout the period remain tax-deductible from U.S. federal taxes as before.<br />

==Organizational development==<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC awarded its 2020 Distinguished Service Award to '''Ryn Marchese''' and '''Connie Moon Sehat''' for their exemplary contributions to the advancement of public knowledge and the collection, development, and dissemination of educational content. Ryn and Connie were instrumental in enabling the chapter to collaborate with two key institutional partners – the American Archive of Public Broadcasting and the World Health Organization – by organizing program activities and acting as advocates for our institutional partnership model. Throughout their work, Ryn and Connie consistently demonstrated an incredible commitment to the Wikimedia vision, and provided incredible support not only for the chapter's collaboration with specific partners, but also for the ongoing evolution of the Wikimedia DC institutional partnership program portfolio.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC awarded its 2020 Volunteer of the Year Award to '''Laura Soito''' for her dedication to the advancement of public knowledge and the collection, development, and dissemination of educational content. A veteran Wikimedia volunteer, Laura repeatedly stepped up to provide support for numerous Wikimedia DC programs – including the Wiki Science Competition, Wiki Loves Monuments, and WikiConference North America – and consistently demonstrated incredible enthusiasm, focus, and dedication to our mission while working closely with Wikimedia DC board members and volunteers.<br />
<br />

Wikimedia DC continues to hold collaborative editing events (edit-a-thons), which is our main institutional partnership program activity. Most of these are public events organized by our staff and include training for new editors and users. Our partner organizations typically request themes that align with their missions, upcoming events or initiatives.<br />
<br />
During the 2022–23 fiscal year, Wikimedia DC ran or supported 18 events in partnership with 13 institutional partners and two for-profit company seeking a rewarding volunteer experience. These events, which included a broad spectrum of cultural, academic, and government institutions, and non-governmental organizations are listed below:<br />

<br />
==='''North American Hub Research Project'''===<br />
<br />
In April 2023, Wikimedia DC was awarded a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation for the purpose of researching the feasibility of creating a North American Hub. A potential hub would consist of Wikimedia's North American affiliates, chapters, and user groups.<br />
<br />
'''Working team'''<br />
*Ariel Cetrone, Institutional Partnerships Manager, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Peter Meyer, President, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Sara Snyder, Treasurer, Wikimedia DC<br />
*Richard Knipel, President, Wikimedia NYC<br />
*[[m:North_American_Hub_Research_Project|Advisory Committee]]<br />
<br />
From May to December of 2023, the working team, under the lead of Wikimedia DC, surveyed and interviewed Wikimedians who are associated with existing or emerging chapters, affiliates or user groups, as well as those who may wish to create organized Wikimedia entities in the future. The goals of the research were to 1) determine the needs of North American Wikimedia entities and interested parties and 2) decide if a North American hub can help meet these needs and grow capacities through collaboration, services, and support.<br />
<br />
Participants in the research phase identified and ranked '''three main service and support areas''' for a potential hub to prioritize.<br />
<br />
'''Priority 1: Community and capacity building'''<br />
<br />
*Programs, events, and initiatives<br />
*Education<br />
*Administration<br />
*Professional development<br />
*Communications<br />
<br />
'''Priority 2: Movement'''<br />
<br />
*Policy<br />
*Advocacy<br />
*Online safety<br />
<br />
'''Priority 3: Other'''<br />
<br />
*Product<br />

* [[Kevin Payravi]] Board member<br />
* [[Gerald Shields]], Board member<br />
<br />
==Conferences and workshops==<br />
* We supported WCNA, the conference and the user group<br />
* Other conferences and workshops?<br />
<br />
==Organizational development==<br />
* Board election in fall 2023. For the first time we did it with an online software platform instead of by postal mail, following the lead of WMNY. This went smoothly overall, and it made things easier for us and voters, sped up the operation, and reduced costs.<br />
* We budgeted for strategic planning, intended to take place in summer 2024, for the first time in many years<br />
* We regained nonprofit status in early 2023, retroactively.<br />
* We filed for two grants and completed two contract projects: the ARTT Guide and Wikicred for 2023.<br />

In this forum we’ll learn from an expert Wikipedian about how to edit pages, and you’ll dive in and get some hands on practice editing Wikipedia articles. We’ll talk about how libraries can get involved in Wikipedia through events or online initiatives. No previous Wikipedia experience necessary! We'll use the Washingtoniana collections in Gelman Library's Special Collections Research Center as an information base for editing articles on DC history, with special emphasis on DC's LGBT history in celebration of June as LGBT Pride Month.<br />

In this workshop, staff from the Wiki Education Foundation will talk about why Wikipedia’s quality is so important and how students can improve academic topics through a classroom assignment. In contributing content to Wikipedia, students gain skills in media literacy, fact-based writing, research, collaboration, and critical thinking. You'll learn about best practices for using Wikipedia as a teaching tool and how Wiki Ed can support you and your students in this innovative service learning assignment. Staff will also discuss how Science instructors can participate during the Wikipedia Year of Science, though all disciplines are invited and welcome.<br />

In 1838, Jesuit priests sold 272 enslaved people who worked on Jesuit plantations in Southern Maryland. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay a portion of Georgetown University's debts. The Georgetown Slavery Archive was established in 2016 to maintain and share materials related to slavery and the 1838 sale. We will use these materials to edit and create relevant Wikipedia articles. New editors are welcome. Training will be provided.<br />

Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.<br />

Let’s change that. Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, as well as reference materials, coffee and lunch. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation.

|description = '''This event is presented by 500 Women Scientists DC'''. Ada Lovelace Day is an international day to celebrate the contributions of self-identifying women to science, technology, engineering, and math. So to celebrate their achievements, 500 Women Scientists and our allies, as well as the DC Science Writer's Association, are gathering at the West End DC Public Library on Saturday, October 13th to share their work on Wikipedia's pages.<br />
<br />
While Wikipedia is the fifth most popular website in the world, notching up more than 32 million views a day, less than 18% of its English-language biographies are about women. So in honor of Ada Lovelace—and her contributions to mathematics and computing—we'll work to add more entries to Wikipedia and give you the tools to keepf making the Internet less sexist after our Wiki-thon. All you have to do is come armed with a laptop or tablet!<br />

This Wikipedia Edit-a-thon accompanies the exhibition, In the Library: The Evans-Tibbs Archive of African American Art, which showcases the life and work of Thurlow Evans Tibbs Jr., an accomplished art appraiser, broker, collector, and dealer, as well as the founder and director of his eponymous art gallery in Washington, DC. Tibbs is best known for his donation to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, now an important part of the National Gallery’s holdings by African American artists. To support his research, Tibbs amassed approximately more than a thousand reference files comprising more than seventy boxes of material documenting art of the African diaspora. Tibbs opened up his reference collection, now commonly known as the Evans-Tibbs Archive, to artists, students, and scholars. The archive includes correspondence, exhibition pamphlets, gallery records, photographs, and other ephemera that illustrate the history of the Tibbs family, The Evans-Tibbs Collection, and African American art.<br />

Let’s change that. Join us for a communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism.

|description = Did you know that Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that anyone can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries? Data has shown that less than 18% of biographies on English-language Wikipedia are about women. Help us change that by joining us on February 9 at the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument for a Wikipedia editing workshop. We will work together to improve and create Wikipedia content about black women who fought for the right to vote. Training will be provided, and no prior knowledge of suffrage history or wikipedia editing is required.<br />
<br />
This free event is presented by the National Woman's Party with support form Wikimedia DC. Lunch will be provided.<br />
<br />
Please bring your own laptop. Wikimedia DC has two laptops to loan, and they can reserved by emailing info@wikimediadc.org.<br />

<br />
|description = Join us at the National Agriculture Library to help celebrate our 50th Anniversary in Beltsville and help to improve or create Wikipedia articles about the National Agricultural Library's history, as well as ARS/USDA history.<br />
<br />
The National Agricultural Library(NAL), one of the world's largest agricultural research libraries, was established as part of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1862, by Abraham Lincoln. The library was originally located at the headquarters building of the USDA until centralization of the library, and it's vast collections outgrew the Washington D.C. space. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson authorized an appropriation which enabled the Library to move and build a new 14-story building on site at the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Beltsville,MD.<br />
<br />
The National Agricultural Library invites Wikipedians of all levels of experience to participate in this edit-a-thon. Topics will include past librarians, USDA research discoveries and developments, the evolution of technology in conjunction with libraries, and highlights of notable research and research contributions represented within the library's special collections and stacks holdings.<br />
<br />
During the event individuals will be able to hear from and meet influential historians within the USDA, librarians, and data science experts. They will also have the opportunity to learn more about resources available through ARS and the National Agricultural Library.<br />
<br />
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Lunch will be provided.<br />
<br />
Photo ID and laptops are required - please bring your own. Training on editing Wikipedia will be provided.<br />

Join us to set the record straight, make some friends, and celebrate the activists who have fought to make our urban environments greener. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; training will be provided.<br />

This is your chance to help educate others about this history. Join the DC History Center and Wikimedia for an edit-a-thon focusing on this central story of Washington, DC. Create and edit pages for activists including: Julius Wilson Hobson, Sr., Josephine Dorothy Butler, Hilda Howland M.

|description = As part of its effort to document and expand on the stories of African American women's contributions to U.S. culinary and beverage history, the American Food History Project at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History is co-hosting a virtual Wikipedia edit-a-thon. This virtual event, which will create new articles and improve existing articles about Black women in the history of food and drink, is in collaboration with the Smithsonian's American Women's History Initiative, #BecauseOfHerStory. To open the event, renowned mixologist Tiffanie Barriere will be interviewed by Curator Theresa McCulla about her work in the food and beverage industries and her current writing projects.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are also considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Black women’s history.<br />

The edit-a-thon will begin with a training, when attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to Black women in food and drink history in the United States.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|description = Take this opportunity to get involved with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC), Densho, and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative by joining us for the WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: with Densho, the Japanese American Legacy Project!<br />
<br />
February 19 marks the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, an authorization signed by President Frankin Delano Roosevelt which led to the incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to concentration camps during World War II. In honor of this Day of Remembrance, this WikiAPA Edit-a-thon will address the underrepresentation of Japanese and Japanese American women on Wikipedia and Wikidata, especially those who were incarcerated during World War II and were active in speaking out and writing about their experiences. Specifically, this events’ worklist has been inspired by the women found in Densho’s archives and collections. Densho’s namesake is a Japanese term meaning “to pass on to the next generation,” or to leave a legacy. By participating in this event, we hope you’ll join us in continuing these notable women’s legacies on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are also considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Asian American and Pacific Islander history.<br />
<br />
To fill the gap, this event encourages the collaboration between the public and cultural heritage professionals to contribute their knowledge and expertise. During this event, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the Densho’s archives and collections.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, Densho, the Japanese American history non-profit, and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|description = During this Edit-a-thon, any participant with computer and internet access can create or improve Wikipedia articles for 41 women of color featured in the exhibit This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World, on view at the Renwick Gallery until April 2, 2023. The exhibit marks the 50th anniversary of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, the nation’s premier museum dedicated to American craft.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who want to learn about art and artists. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. These percentages are even lower for biographies of women artists who have engaged with historically marginalized craft practices like quilting, ceramics, and basketry.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required. Attendees of all wiki experience levels are encouraged to join to learn and share more about these 41 wonderful artists.<br />

|description = Are you interested in the history of anthropology? A linked data nerd? Want to help connect Indigenous communities with their archival records within colonial repositories? Join a co-sponsored edit-a-thon event between the University of Maryland Center for Archival Futures (CAFe) and WikimediaDC to support the reworking of the Council on the Preservation of Anthropological Records guide to anthropological records. Specifically, this edit-a-thon will add and edit anthropologists’ records within Wikipedia, and then ensure that each anthropologist is linked with the Wikipedia records of the Indigenous communities and peoples with whom they worked. Once mapped in both Wikipedia and Wikidata, this work will inform the data within SNAC (Social Networks, Archival Contexts), a search platform for finding archival records, which through an IMLS grant, we are shaping to facilitate connections between Native communities and their archival records.<br />
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Training will be provided, taking place Friday, March 31st, 2023 from 10am-2pm. Open editing time will run from 11:30am to 2pm. If you've never edited before, please plan to arrive for the training session.<br />

<br />
Wikipedia, a free and open encyclopedia, is one of the top 10 most-viewed websites in the world. But did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI) is committed to help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries -- and you can help!<br />
<br />
Before collaborating on the entries you’ll receive a Wikipedia training and hear from naturalist Dara M. Wilson, Co-Chair of the Black Birders Week Advisory Group. Attendees of all experience levels can participate! Wikipedia training will be provided. <br />
<br />
Due to limited space, please register to attend. And, if possible, please bring a laptop with you.<br />

As the world’s largest online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia is often one’s first stop when seeking information. For this reason, it is vital that content shared there remains accurate and free of mis- and disinformation.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC, an official chapter affiliate of Wikipedia and other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, will facilitate an edit-a-thon with the goal of creating and improving Wikipedia content about scientific topics. Editors of all experience levels are invited to participate.<br />
<br />

|title = Edit-a-Thon for Democracy: Accountability for Lying to the Courts and Congress<br />
|time = 12pm-3pm ET<br />
|place = Online<br />
|address = Online<br />
|description = A healthy democracy requires that the public can reference a complete, trustworthy, and accessible historical record of events related to government activity and interactions between government officials and the people from whom they derive their authority. Beyond equipping people with the tools to better understand how various economic, social, and cultural dynamics influence our democratic infrastructure, history also provides clarity about various players within our political landscape and the impact they have had.<br />
<br />
The period between 2017 and 2021 was tumultuous, and recent enough that its documentation on Wikipedia is incomplete. Given Wikipedia’s importance as one of the rare places where the American public can meet to both write and read a shared reality, Protect Democracy and Wikimedia DC are organizing a series of Edit-a-Thons centered on civic engagement and historical documentation. By recording the notable impact actors have had on the U.S.’s democracy and making it easily accessible, you can help empower the public with information of important past events, creating both a recognition of positive influence and accountability for misdeeds.<br />
<br />
This first event of our series will focus on instances of actors misleading and obstructing the courts and Congress. During this Edit-a-Thon, training as well as suggested sources will be provided so that attendees of all experience levels—both in terms of Wikipedia editing and U.S. democracy—can participate.<br />

|time = 11am - 3pm<br />
|place =<br />
|address = <br />
|description = The American food system is often unequal and inefficient; numerous agencies regulate it with little interconnection, resulting in a broad range of simultaneous issues: food insecurity and waste, obesity and hunger, and agriculture speeding climate change that threatens agriculture, among other issues. Laurie Beyranevand from the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law School will discuss the Blueprint for a National Food Strategy and other CAFS resources. She will also examine opportunities for addressing equity-related food and nutrition issues and the need for a cohesive national approach to food system regulation through legal and scholarly research.<br />
<br />
Our keynote speaker is Rev. Dr. Heber Brown III, Black Church Food Security Network founder. He will describe their work on connecting churches and Black farmers to create alternative food systems that address systemic issues of racism and climate change.<br />
<br />
The afternoon session consists of an optional Wikipedia editing training session and editing time to focus on food systems and food insecurity.<br />

Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Increasing the Representation of Women in STEM<br />
Description<br />
Did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? In celebration of Smithsonian’s Women’s Futures Month, help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries during this Wikipedia edit-a-thon. <br />
<br />
At this edit-a-thon, attendees of all experience levels collaborate to learn how to edit Wikipedia together by updating articles related to women in STEM from the #IfThenSheCan - The Exhibit, a collection of 120 statues of women in STEM. Rese Cloyd, Director of the Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology at AAAS, sets the stage by highlighting the importance of representation of women in STEM.<br />

WikiGap 2022 - Women, Health & Environment Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<br />
Description<br />
Knowledge is power, and Wikipedia has the potential to colour our view of the world. But there is great imbalance between men and women on the website, like in society at large. There are four times as many articles about men as there are about women.<br />
<br />
We want to change this.<br />
<br />
Join us and help to close Wikipedia's gender gap by editing and creating Wikipedia articles about Women, Health & Environment.<br />
<br />
Training for new Wikipedia editors will be provided.<br />
<br />
This is a hybrid event with in-person sessions in New York and Washington, DC as well as a virtual session for those who wish to attend remotely. Please bring a laptop if planning to join us in-person.<br />
<br />
The event is organized by Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC, the Embassy of Sweden to the United States, Sweden’s Consulate General in New York, and the Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations.<br />
<br />
'''Schedule'''<br />
<br />
09:00 – 09:45: Interactive Studio Chat with Sweden's UN Ambassador Anna Karin Eneström, Sweden's Consul General Camilla Mellander, Sweden's Ambassador to the US Karin Olofsdotter, and Ms. Åsa Regnér, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.<br />

Join us to learn how to help increase the representation of Pacific Islander and Asian American people on Wikipedia<br />
<br />
Take this opportunity to get involved with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC) and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative by joining us for the WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: Are Here Edition. This edition focuses on the stories of Pacific Islander and Asian American women, and nonbinary, transgender, and third gender people in APAC’s forthcoming anthology, We Are here: 30 Inspiring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Shaped the United States, which will come out on October 18, 2022, from the Smithsonian Institution and Running Press Kids.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Asian American and Pacific Islander history as well as topics about transgender and nonbinary people. You can help correct these imbalances by contributing to Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. No prior Wikipedia experience is required.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|description = Join Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative to enhance the presence of sculptors and women in Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
As one of the internet’s most frequently visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many interested in learning about art, history, and the lives of artists. Yet many women artists whose important works are displayed in museums and galleries around the world have incomplete Wikipedia articles or no article at all. Sculptors are even less represented than painters in Wikipedia, increasing the likelihood of women sculptors being excluded. This problem can be corrected. Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that we can all help improve the quantity, quality, and accuracy of Wikipedia entries.<br />
<br />
During this event, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by creating or updating articles related to the history of fifty women sculptural artists in the United States.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required.<br />

During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. We're asking editors to make 19 edits around the 19th Amendment throughout the month of August.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian American Women's Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States. It is planned in partnership with the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and Wikimedia DC.<br />

<br />
During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the history of women in science in the United States in connection with the Funk List.<br />
<br />
Did you know that less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women? Throughout the Smithsonian’s nearly 175-year history, women have worked in the sciences, paving the way for future generations at the Institution and in their fields. The stories of these American women can inform and inspire, but only if you can find them.<br />
<br />
Join our #BecauseOfHerStory effort to improve representation on Wikipedia of these Smithsonian groundbreakers who have been pioneers in various disciplines, from astrophysics to zoology.<br />

|time = 12pm-3pm ET<br />
|place = Online<br />
|address = Online<br />
|description = A healthy democracy requires that the public can reference a complete, trustworthy, and accessible historical record of events related to government activity and interactions between government officials and the people from whom they derive their authority. Beyond equipping people with the tools to better understand how various economic, social, and cultural dynamics influence our democratic infrastructure, history also provides clarity about various players within our political landscape and the impact they have had.<br />
<br />
The period between 2017 and 2021 was tumultuous, and recent enough that its documentation on Wikipedia is incomplete. Given Wikipedia’s importance as one of the rare places where the American public can meet to both write and read a shared reality, Protect Democracy and Wikimedia DC are organizing a series of Edit-a-Thons centered on civic engagement and historical documentation. By recording the notable impact actors have had on the U.S.’s democracy and making it easily accessible, you can help empower the public with information of important past events, creating both a recognition of positive influence and accountability for misdeeds.<br />
<br />
This first event of our series will focus on instances of actors misleading and obstructing the courts and Congress. During this Edit-a-Thon, training as well as suggested sources will be provided so that attendees of all experience levels—both in terms of Wikipedia editing and U.S. democracy—can participate.<br />

|time = 11am - 3pm<br />
|place =<br />
|address = <br />
|description = The American food system is often unequal and inefficient; numerous agencies regulate it with little interconnection, resulting in a broad range of simultaneous issues: food insecurity and waste, obesity and hunger, and agriculture speeding climate change that threatens agriculture, among other issues. Laurie Beyranevand from the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law School will discuss the Blueprint for a National Food Strategy and other CAFS resources. She will also examine opportunities for addressing equity-related food and nutrition issues and the need for a cohesive national approach to food system regulation through legal and scholarly research.<br />
<br />
Our keynote speaker is Rev. Dr. Heber Brown III, Black Church Food Security Network founder. He will describe their work on connecting churches and Black farmers to create alternative food systems that address systemic issues of racism and climate change.<br />
<br />
The afternoon session consists of an optional Wikipedia editing training session and editing time to focus on food systems and food insecurity.<br />

Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Increasing the Representation of Women in STEM<br />
Description<br />
Did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? In celebration of Smithsonian’s Women’s Futures Month, help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries during this Wikipedia edit-a-thon. <br />
<br />
At this edit-a-thon, attendees of all experience levels collaborate to learn how to edit Wikipedia together by updating articles related to women in STEM from the #IfThenSheCan - The Exhibit, a collection of 120 statues of women in STEM. Rese Cloyd, Director of the Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology at AAAS, sets the stage by highlighting the importance of representation of women in STEM.<br />

WikiGap 2022 - Women, Health & Environment Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<br />
Description<br />
Knowledge is power, and Wikipedia has the potential to colour our view of the world. But there is great imbalance between men and women on the website, like in society at large. There are four times as many articles about men as there are about women.<br />
<br />
We want to change this.<br />
<br />
Join us and help to close Wikipedia's gender gap by editing and creating Wikipedia articles about Women, Health & Environment.<br />
<br />
Training for new Wikipedia editors will be provided.<br />
<br />
This is a hybrid event with in-person sessions in New York and Washington, DC as well as a virtual session for those who wish to attend remotely. Please bring a laptop if planning to join us in-person.<br />
<br />
The event is organized by Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC, the Embassy of Sweden to the United States, Sweden’s Consulate General in New York, and the Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations.<br />
<br />
'''Schedule'''<br />
<br />
09:00 – 09:45: Interactive Studio Chat with Sweden's UN Ambassador Anna Karin Eneström, Sweden's Consul General Camilla Mellander, Sweden's Ambassador to the US Karin Olofsdotter, and Ms. Åsa Regnér, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.<br />

Join us to learn how to help increase the representation of Pacific Islander and Asian American people on Wikipedia<br />
<br />
Take this opportunity to get involved with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC) and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative by joining us for the WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: Are Here Edition. This edition focuses on the stories of Pacific Islander and Asian American women, and nonbinary, transgender, and third gender people in APAC’s forthcoming anthology, We Are here: 30 Inspiring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Shaped the United States, which will come out on October 18, 2022, from the Smithsonian Institution and Running Press Kids.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Asian American and Pacific Islander history as well as topics about transgender and nonbinary people. You can help correct these imbalances by contributing to Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. No prior Wikipedia experience is required.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|description = Join Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative to enhance the presence of sculptors and women in Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
As one of the internet’s most frequently visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many interested in learning about art, history, and the lives of artists. Yet many women artists whose important works are displayed in museums and galleries around the world have incomplete Wikipedia articles or no article at all. Sculptors are even less represented than painters in Wikipedia, increasing the likelihood of women sculptors being excluded. This problem can be corrected. Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that we can all help improve the quantity, quality, and accuracy of Wikipedia entries.<br />
<br />
During this event, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by creating or updating articles related to the history of fifty women sculptural artists in the United States.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required.<br />

<br />
February 19 marks the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, an authorization signed by President Frankin Delano Roosevelt which led to the incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to concentration camps during World War II. In honor of this Day of Remembrance, this WikiAPA Edit-a-thon will address the underrepresentation of Japanese and Japanese American women on Wikipedia and Wikidata, especially those who were incarcerated during World War II and were active in speaking out and writing about their experiences. Specifically, this events’ worklist has been inspired by the women found in Densho’s archives and collections. Densho’s namesake is a Japanese term meaning “to pass on to the next generation,” or to leave a legacy. By participating in this event, we hope you’ll join us in continuing these notable women’s legacies on Wikipedia.<br />

|description = During this Edit-a-thon, any participant with computer and internet access can create or improve Wikipedia articles for 41 women of color featured in the exhibit This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World, on view at the Renwick Gallery until April 2, 2023. The exhibit marks the 50th anniversary of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, the nation’s premier museum dedicated to American craft.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who want to learn about art and artists. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. These percentages are even lower for biographies of women artists who have engaged with historically marginalized craft practices like quilting, ceramics, and basketry.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required. Attendees of all wiki experience levels are encouraged to join to learn and share more about these 41 wonderful artists.<br />

|address = <br />
|description = Are you interested in the history of anthropology? A linked data nerd? Want to help connect Indigenous communities with their archival records within colonial repositories? Join a co-sponsored edit-a-thon event between the University of Maryland Center for Archival Futures (CAFe) and WikimediaDC to support the reworking of the Council on the Preservation of Anthropological Records guide to anthropological records. Specifically, this edit-a-thon will add and edit anthropologists’ records within Wikipedia, and then ensure that each anthropologist is linked with the Wikipedia records of the Indigenous communities and peoples with whom they worked. Once mapped in both Wikipedia and Wikidata, this work will inform the data within SNAC (Social Networks, Archival Contexts), a search platform for finding archival records, which through an IMLS grant, we are shaping to facilitate connections between Native communities and their archival records.<br />
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Training will be provided, taking place Friday, March 31st, 2023 from 10am-2pm. Open editing time will run from 11:30am to 2pm. If you've never edited before, please plan to arrive for the training session.<br />

Wikipedia, a free and open encyclopedia, is one of the top 10 most-viewed websites in the world. But did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI) is committed to help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries -- and you can help!<br />
<br />
Before collaborating on the entries you’ll receive a Wikipedia training and hear from naturalist Dara M. Wilson, Co-Chair of the Black Birders Week Advisory Group. Attendees of all experience levels can participate! Wikipedia training will be provided. <br />
<br />
Due to limited space, please register to attend. And, if possible, please bring a laptop with you.<br />

|description = '''Note:''' This event is open to those registered for the 2023 Nobel Prize Summit.<br />
<br />
As the world’s largest online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia is often one’s first stop when seeking information. For this reason, it is vital that content shared there remains accurate and free of mis- and disinformation.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC, an official chapter affiliate of Wikipedia and other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, will facilitate an edit-a-thon with the goal of creating and improving Wikipedia content about scientific topics. Editors of all experience levels are invited to participate.<br />
<br />
New editors will learn about Wikipedia notability requirements, oversight practices, and basic editing functions.<br />
<br />
In addition to learning how to edit Wikipedia, attendees will hear about the Analysis Responses Toolkit for Trust, an interactive tool that incorporates Wikipedia and other sources to help people engage in trust-building ways when discussing vaccine efficacy and other topics online.<br />
<br />
The Wikipedia editing training session is one-hour long and will be offered once at the start the event. Please arrive on-time if you intend to learn how to edit Wikipedia.<br />

The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now. The exhibition brings together five decades of innovative printmaking by Chicano artists to explore the social justice-rooted artistic tradition and its contemporary legacy. Many of the featured artists came of age during the civil rights era and channeled the period's social activism into assertive aesthetic statements that announced a new political and cultural consciousness among people of Mexican descent in the United States. Learn how to edit and create new Wikipedia articles in this online editing workshop and work to amplify and expand on articles about Chicanx women and LGBTQ+ artists. All levels of technological proficiency welcome. <br />

|description = The Black in STEM Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon is a joint project between the nonprofit BlackComputeHER.org and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. BlackComputeHER.org is dedicated to supporting computer and tech education along with workforce development for African American girls and women. The National Museum of African American History and Culture recognizes that African Americans have contributed to the United States’ Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) enterprise since the nation’s beginning, yet their names and contributions have been routinely overlooked.<br />
<br />
Over the course of two weeks, the Black in STEM Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon will be used to highlight African Americans STEM professionals, specifically, engineers, computer scientists and women in STEM throughout history. We look forward to creating and building information resources for all people interested in African American history and STEM.<br />

|description = NMWA will join with its partner, Wikimedia DC, to mark Wikipedia's 20th anniversary with the museum's eighth Art+Feminism edit-a-thon focused on improving Wikipedia entries related to notable women artists and art world figures. We will work to enrich the representation of women artists of color, with an emphasis on women of African descent whose work is included in NMWA's collection.<br />
<br />
This event is part of a global initiative to help right Wikipedia’s gender imbalance. In 2019, at least 4,360 Art+Feminism participants created or enhanced over 31,500 Wikipedia pages.<br />
<br />
No experience necessary—just be ready with your computer, a motivation to combat gender bias, and a belief in equal access to quality information resources. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.<br />

|description = Welcome to the fourth annual WikiGap Campaign! Join us in celebrating International Women's Day, by working for concrete change: editing and creating Wikipedia articles, and making women more visible online.<br />
<br />
We will kick off the WikiGap Challenge, give the floor to experts on gender policies and rights, learn how to edit Wikipedia – or for those of you who already know, spend the time with making some concrete action.<br />
<br />
The event will take place via Zoom. Everyone who has registered will receive a Zoom link after registration closes. The initial parts will be livestreamed on Wikimedia Sverige social media platforms, but the following editathon will be restricted to pre-registered users.<br />
<br />
Program<br />
<br />
Introduction (2pm London time)<br />
Training on how to edit (2.30 pm London time)<br />
Two hours editing (3.30 pm London time)<br />
Anyone who is an experienced user can join a breakout room for editing instead of the training.<br />

|title = Food Safety and Modernization Act Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<br />
|time = 10am –3pm<br />
|place = Remote<br />
|address =<br />
<br />
|description = The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), enacted by Congress in 2011, is a comprehensive update of federal food safety laws. It addresses preventable foodborne illness, monitors the global food supply chain, and ensures human and animal food safety. Rather than a system that responds to foodborne illness, FSMA works to prevent it. Following its enactment, the FDA created seven comprehensive new regulations to enforce the law. These regulations touch on nearly every aspect of the food supply chain.<br />
<br />
We will start the day with remarks from Paul Wester, Director of the National Agricultural Library, and follow with a panel of guests who will speak about the history, context, and future of FSMA. Following the speakers, we will hold a training session for those new to - or need a refresher on - Wikipedia editing. A worklist of FSMA topics and pages will be provided, including growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce; mandatory controls for food facilities; and monitoring and corrective action of intentional adulteration of food.<br />
<br />
To close the day, we will hold a question and answer session.<br />
<br />
This event is presented by the National Agricultural Library with support from Wikimedia DC.<br />

|description = The stories of Black women in food can educate and embolden future generations, but only if their legacies are discoverable. On July 27 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. Eastern, join us for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon that will address the marginalization and omission of Black women’s stories by creating or adding to Wikipedia articles about their personal histories and inspiring careers in food businesses, culinary education, writing, advocacy, philanthropy, and beyond. <br />
<br />
Don’t know how to edit Wikipedia articles? No worries, we’ll train you during the event! With these new skills, you’ll be able to help us better represent and share the stories of women like LaDeva Davis (featured above) who had her own program on PBS in 1976 called, “What’s Cooking?” During the show, she prepared budget-friendly, highly nutritious meals that appealed to wide audiences. So popular was her show that PBS broadcast it in over 100 locations across the country, making Davis one of the first Black women to have her own nationally syndicated public TV cooking show on PBS.<br />
<br />
Honoring her role in food TV history, the museum included Davis’ image on the “TV Chefs Wall” in the FOOD: Transforming the American Table exhibition. <br />

|description = Save the date for a virtual edit-a-thon on Women in Finance on Thursday, October 29th from 1:00-3:00pm EST where we will highlight women who have been trailblazers in finance, business, and entrepreneurship. The histories of women in these spaces is not well documented online, but they deserve to be told. Dr. Crystal M. Moten, curator of African American history in the division of Work and History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, will speak about her work and the importance of telling her stories at the edit-a-thon.<br />
<br />
During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the history of women in finance and business in the United States. Ariel Cetrone, Wikimedia DC, will lead the Wikipedia tutorial and beginners are welcome. Zoom link will be sent upon registration.<br />
<br />
Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that you can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia articles. As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many individuals looking to learn about art, history, and science. Content on Wikipedia is not even, currently only 18% of biographies are about women. Help us correct that imbalance by editing articles about women on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
This event is collaboratively planned by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States and Wikimedia DC, the regional outreach organization for the Wikimedia projects.<br />
<br />
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. For questions, or to request accommodations such as an ASL interpreter or captioning, please email BecauseOfHerStory@si.edu.<br />

The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now. The exhibition brings together five decades of innovative printmaking by Chicano artists to explore the social justice-rooted artistic tradition and its contemporary legacy. Many of the featured artists came of age during the civil rights era and channeled the period's social activism into assertive aesthetic statements that announced a new political and cultural consciousness among people of Mexican descent in the United States. Learn how to edit and create new Wikipedia articles in this online editing workshop and work to amplify and expand on articles about Chicanx women and LGBTQ+ artists. All levels of technological proficiency welcome. <br />

<br />
|description = The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), enacted by Congress in 2011, is a comprehensive update of federal food safety laws. It addresses preventable foodborne illness, monitors the global food supply chain, and ensures human and animal food safety. Rather than a system that responds to foodborne illness, FSMA works to prevent it. Following its enactment, the FDA created seven comprehensive new regulations to enforce the law. These regulations touch on nearly every aspect of the food supply chain.<br />
<br />
We will start the day with remarks from Paul Wester, Director of the National Agricultural Library, and follow with a panel of guests who will speak about the history, context, and future of FSMA. Following the speakers, we will hold a training session for those new to - or need a refresher on - Wikipedia editing. A worklist of FSMA topics and pages will be provided, including growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce; mandatory controls for food facilities; and monitoring and corrective action of intentional adulteration of food.<br />
<br />
To close the day, we will hold a question and answer session.<br />
<br />
This event is presented by the National Agricultural Library with support from Wikimedia DC.<br />

|description = The stories of Black women in food can educate and embolden future generations, but only if their legacies are discoverable. On July 27 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. Eastern, join us for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon that will address the marginalization and omission of Black women’s stories by creating or adding to Wikipedia articles about their personal histories and inspiring careers in food businesses, culinary education, writing, advocacy, philanthropy, and beyond. <br />
<br />
Don’t know how to edit Wikipedia articles? No worries, we’ll train you during the event! With these new skills, you’ll be able to help us better represent and share the stories of women like LaDeva Davis (featured above) who had her own program on PBS in 1976 called, “What’s Cooking?” During the show, she prepared budget-friendly, highly nutritious meals that appealed to wide audiences. So popular was her show that PBS broadcast it in over 100 locations across the country, making Davis one of the first Black women to have her own nationally syndicated public TV cooking show on PBS.<br />
<br />
Honoring her role in food TV history, the museum included Davis’ image on the “TV Chefs Wall” in the FOOD: Transforming the American Table exhibition. <br />

|time = 12pm-3pm ET<br />
|place = Online<br />
|address = Online<br />
|description = A healthy democracy requires that the public can reference a complete, trustworthy, and accessible historical record of events related to government activity and interactions between government officials and the people from whom they derive their authority. Beyond equipping people with the tools to better understand how various economic, social, and cultural dynamics influence our democratic infrastructure, history also provides clarity about various players within our political landscape and the impact they have had.<br />
<br />
The period between 2017 and 2021 was tumultuous, and recent enough that its documentation on Wikipedia is incomplete. Given Wikipedia’s importance as one of the rare places where the American public can meet to both write and read a shared reality, Protect Democracy and Wikimedia DC are organizing a series of Edit-a-Thons centered on civic engagement and historical documentation. By recording the notable impact actors have had on the U.S.’s democracy and making it easily accessible, you can help empower the public with information of important past events, creating both a recognition of positive influence and accountability for misdeeds.<br />
<br />
This first event of our series will focus on instances of actors misleading and obstructing the courts and Congress. During this Edit-a-Thon, training as well as suggested sources will be provided so that attendees of all experience levels—both in terms of Wikipedia editing and U.S. democracy—can participate.<br />

|address = <br />
|description = The American food system is often unequal and inefficient; numerous agencies regulate it with little interconnection, resulting in a broad range of simultaneous issues: food insecurity and waste, obesity and hunger, and agriculture speeding climate change that threatens agriculture, among other issues. Laurie Beyranevand from the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law School will discuss the Blueprint for a National Food Strategy and other CAFS resources. She will also examine opportunities for addressing equity-related food and nutrition issues and the need for a cohesive national approach to food system regulation through legal and scholarly research.<br />
<br />
Our keynote speaker is Rev. Dr. Heber Brown III, Black Church Food Security Network founder. He will describe their work on connecting churches and Black farmers to create alternative food systems that address systemic issues of racism and climate change.<br />
<br />
The afternoon session consists of an optional Wikipedia editing training session and editing time to focus on food systems and food insecurity.<br />

WikiGap 2022 - Women, Health & Environment Wikipedia Edit-a-thon<br />
Description<br />
Knowledge is power, and Wikipedia has the potential to colour our view of the world. But there is great imbalance between men and women on the website, like in society at large. There are four times as many articles about men as there are about women.<br />
<br />
We want to change this.<br />
<br />
Join us and help to close Wikipedia's gender gap by editing and creating Wikipedia articles about Women, Health & Environment.<br />
<br />
Training for new Wikipedia editors will be provided.<br />
<br />
This is a hybrid event with in-person sessions in New York and Washington, DC as well as a virtual session for those who wish to attend remotely. Please bring a laptop if planning to join us in-person.<br />
<br />
The event is organized by Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC, the Embassy of Sweden to the United States, Sweden’s Consulate General in New York, and the Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations.<br />
<br />
'''Schedule'''<br />
<br />
09:00 – 09:45: Interactive Studio Chat with Sweden's UN Ambassador Anna Karin Eneström, Sweden's Consul General Camilla Mellander, Sweden's Ambassador to the US Karin Olofsdotter, and Ms. Åsa Regnér, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.<br />
<br />
09:45 – 10:30: Training session with Wikimedia<br />
<br />
10:30 – 12:00: Edit-a-thon with Wikimedia (Participants, on sight and online, will create and edit Wikipedia articles about women in Wikimedia)<br />

Join us to learn how to help increase the representation of Pacific Islander and Asian American people on Wikipedia<br />
<br />
Take this opportunity to get involved with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC) and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative by joining us for the WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: Are Here Edition. This edition focuses on the stories of Pacific Islander and Asian American women, and nonbinary, transgender, and third gender people in APAC’s forthcoming anthology, We Are here: 30 Inspiring Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Shaped the United States, which will come out on October 18, 2022, from the Smithsonian Institution and Running Press Kids.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Asian American and Pacific Islander history as well as topics about transgender and nonbinary people. You can help correct these imbalances by contributing to Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. No prior Wikipedia experience is required.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|description = Join Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative to enhance the presence of sculptors and women in Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
As one of the internet’s most frequently visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many interested in learning about art, history, and the lives of artists. Yet many women artists whose important works are displayed in museums and galleries around the world have incomplete Wikipedia articles or no article at all. Sculptors are even less represented than painters in Wikipedia, increasing the likelihood of women sculptors being excluded. This problem can be corrected. Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that we can all help improve the quantity, quality, and accuracy of Wikipedia entries.<br />
<br />
During this event, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by creating or updating articles related to the history of fifty women sculptural artists in the United States.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required.<br />

|title = WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: with Densho, the Japanese American Legacy Project<br />
|time = 1 PM – 3:30 PM<br />
|place = Online<br />
|address = <br />
|description = Take this opportunity to get involved with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (APAC), Densho, and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative by joining us for the WikiAPA Edit-a-thon: with Densho, the Japanese American Legacy Project!<br />
<br />
February 19 marks the anniversary of Executive Order 9066, an authorization signed by President Frankin Delano Roosevelt which led to the incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry to concentration camps during World War II. In honor of this Day of Remembrance, this WikiAPA Edit-a-thon will address the underrepresentation of Japanese and Japanese American women on Wikipedia and Wikidata, especially those who were incarcerated during World War II and were active in speaking out and writing about their experiences. Specifically, this events’ worklist has been inspired by the women found in Densho’s archives and collections. Densho’s namesake is a Japanese term meaning “to pass on to the next generation,” or to leave a legacy. By participating in this event, we hope you’ll join us in continuing these notable women’s legacies on Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who are looking to learn about art, history, and science. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. There are also considerable gaps on Wikipedia related to Asian American and Pacific Islander history.<br />
<br />
To fill the gap, this event encourages the collaboration between the public and cultural heritage professionals to contribute their knowledge and expertise. During this event, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the Densho’s archives and collections.<br />
<br />
This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, Densho, the Japanese American history non-profit, and the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative, a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.<br />

|time = 1 PM – 3:30 PM<br />
|place = Online<br />
|address = <br />
|description = During this Edit-a-thon, any participant with computer and internet access can create or improve Wikipedia articles for 41 women of color featured in the exhibit This Present Moment: Crafting a Better World, on view at the Renwick Gallery until April 2, 2023. The exhibit marks the 50th anniversary of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, the nation’s premier museum dedicated to American craft.<br />
<br />
As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many who want to learn about art and artists. However, less than 19% of Wikipedia biographies in English represent women, and less than 10% of Wikipedia editors identify as women. These percentages are even lower for biographies of women artists who have engaged with historically marginalized craft practices like quilting, ceramics, and basketry.<br />
<br />
This event is cohosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative. No Wikipedia editing experience is necessary; training will be provided. No background in art history is required. Attendees of all wiki experience levels are encouraged to join to learn and share more about these 41 wonderful artists.<br />

|address = <br />
|description = Are you interested in the history of anthropology? A linked data nerd? Want to help connect Indigenous communities with their archival records within colonial repositories? Join a co-sponsored edit-a-thon event between the University of Maryland Center for Archival Futures (CAFe) and WikimediaDC to support the reworking of the Council on the Preservation of Anthropological Records guide to anthropological records. Specifically, this edit-a-thon will add and edit anthropologists’ records within Wikipedia, and then ensure that each anthropologist is linked with the Wikipedia records of the Indigenous communities and peoples with whom they worked. Once mapped in both Wikipedia and Wikidata, this work will inform the data within SNAC (Social Networks, Archival Contexts), a search platform for finding archival records, which through an IMLS grant, we are shaping to facilitate connections between Native communities and their archival records.<br />
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary. Training will be provided, taking place Friday, March 31st, 2023 from 10am-2pm. Open editing time will run from 11:30am to 2pm. If you've never edited before, please plan to arrive for the training session.<br />

|description = At this Wikipedia edit-a-thon, join the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative to increase the representation of Black women in birding.<br />
<br />
Wikipedia, a free and open encyclopedia, is one of the top 10 most-viewed websites in the world. But did you know that only 19% of biographies on Wikipedia are about women and only 10% of Wikipedia’s editors identify as women? The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI) is committed to help improve the uneven representation of women in STEM and the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries -- and you can help!<br />
<br />
Before collaborating on the entries you’ll receive a Wikipedia training and hear from naturalist Dara M. Wilson, Co-Chair of the Black Birders Week Advisory Group. Attendees of all experience levels can participate! Wikipedia training will be provided. <br />
<br />
Due to limited space, please register to attend. And, if possible, please bring a laptop with you.<br />

|place = Online<br />
|address = <br />
|description = '''Note:''' This event is open to those registered for the 2023 Nobel Prize Summit.<br />
<br />
As the world’s largest online Encyclopedia, Wikipedia is often one’s first stop when seeking information. For this reason, it is vital that content shared there remains accurate and free of mis- and disinformation.<br />
<br />
Wikimedia DC, an official chapter affiliate of Wikipedia and other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, will facilitate an edit-a-thon with the goal of creating and improving Wikipedia content about scientific topics. Editors of all experience levels are invited to participate.<br />
<br />
New editors will learn about Wikipedia notability requirements, oversight practices, and basic editing functions.<br />
<br />
In addition to learning how to edit Wikipedia, attendees will hear about the Analysis Responses Toolkit for Trust, an interactive tool that incorporates Wikipedia and other sources to help people engage in trust-building ways when discussing vaccine efficacy and other topics online.<br />
<br />
The Wikipedia editing training session is one-hour long and will be offered once at the start the event. Please arrive on-time if you intend to learn how to edit Wikipedia.<br />
