Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?
  +
Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?
  +

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.

No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.

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 June 20th for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. Attendees will edit and create Wikipedia articles inspired by the life and work of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker.
  +
  +
Dr. Walker, the first woman to serve as a U.S. Army surgeon during the Civil War, a women’s rights advocate, and the only woman recipient of the Medal of Honor, is featured on a new quarter as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Program.

  +
This event will have two parts:
  +
1) Getting started with Wikipedia edits: 11am-12pm
  +
2) Wikipedia edit-a-thon: 12pm-2pm
  +
  +
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.
