Did you know that only 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women?
−
The weekend will feature both academic and casual presentations on Wikimedia-related outreach activities, workshops to improve the skills of grassroots organizers, and discussions on the past, present, and future of the Wikimedia projects. There will be tracks on community outreach, online activity, partnerships with institutions of knowledge, and technology. This year's theme is inclusivity—community building and sharing knowledge in architecturally-beautiful venues meant to inspire thought and action.

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.

|description = Join Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts from the United States, Canada and Mexico for the third annual WikiConference North America (formerly known as WikiConference USA). This year's event will be held at Balboa Park and the Central Public Library in San Diego, California.
  
  +
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.”
   
  +
This event will have two parts:
−
The weekend will feature both academic and casual presentations on Wikimedia-related outreach activities, workshops to improve the skills of grassroots organizers, and discussions on the past, present, and future of the Wikimedia projects. There will be tracks on community outreach, online activity, partnerships with institutions of knowledge, and technology. This year's theme is inclusivity—community building and sharing knowledge in architecturally-beautiful venues meant to inspire thought and action.
  
  +
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.
