Wikipedia is among the most visited websites in the world; it is routinely cited in scholarly articles, the news, and congressional hearings. But Wikipedia openly admits its content is skewed by the gender and racial imbalance of its editors. You can be part of the solution! Join us on Zoom for a tutorial for the beginner Wikipedian, then edit some Wikipedia entries yourself.
Sign up for a free Wikipedia account in advance (optional). You may bring topic ideas or articles you’d like to edit, or we’ll help you find a way to make a difference in an area of interest to you.
Additional Host: Marri Atienza (not pictured)
