Editing for Equality: the Outcomes of the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thons
Editing for Equality: the Outcomes of the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-A-Thons - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Siân Evans, Jacqueline Mabey and Michael Mandiberg.
Overview
AbstractArt+Feminism has been heralded as the largest edit-a-thon in Wikipedia history. In this article, the authors argue that the success of this event is a result of two distinct but related factors: a networked collaboration between Wikipedians, librarians, and scholars, and an increased visibility of the need for gendered activism on the web. Working through these two factors, the authors explore the concept of the networked librarian in the expanded field of engagement. The article also outlines the importance of gendered information activism to the goals of the Art+Feminism project.
