Wiki Wednesday
WEDNESDAY 16 JUNE, 10–11.30AM AEST | VIA ZOOM
As the largest general reference work on the internet, Wikipedia is hugely popular. But did you know that less than 10% of the editors on Wikipedia are women, and only 18% of Wikipedia biographies are about women? When it comes to women artists and creators, that number is even lower.
Join the Women's Art Register and Wikimedia Australia for a virtual Wikipedia editing session on Wednesday 16 June to amplify the voices of Australian women artists, designers and creators. The session starts at 10am AEST and is accessible via Zoom (please find the link on our project page).
This session will highlight Australian art galleries and museums and their collections of women artists. Become part of the Wikipedia community of volunteers who collaboratively create and maintain one of the world’s largest and most popular research tools.
This event is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
