Women in Psychology Online Editathon: April 2017
Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from April 1 to 30, 2017, on Women in Psychology in collaboration with the WikiProject Women in Psychology.
The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. The main goals of the event are:
- to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
- to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
- to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
- to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)
Focus and lists of red links
In collaboration with the WikiProject Women in Psychology, the objective is to create or improve articles on women psychologists including their work, their achievements, their writings and their organizations.
