Join the Library for our Second Wikipedia Edit-a-thon!

We invite you to build gender equity and make a change to the power imbalance in one of the world’s most influential sources of information, Wikipedia. With 22 billion pageviews a month, Wikipedia is among the most widely used internet sources, and the disparities between the representation of women and men encompass all aspects of the resource, from subjects covered to word choice to those creating the content. 

No editing experience necessary. Learn the basics of editing Wikipedia and begin making a change in the information used by so many. New and experienced editors are welcome.

#WheaNegotiate – Join us on Tuesday, April 10^th for a campus-wide celebration of Equal Pay Day.
