Wikipedia-edit-a-thon

After the Wikipedia-edit-a-thon is over you can still be involved in editing Wikipedia.

A first day of editing is a great start, but we can’t fix the gender imbalance on Wikipedia in a single day. Improving Wikipedia will require both more women editors who regularly contribute, and it will also require editors who focus on women and art.  

You are now an experienced editor of Wikipedia pages. You can keep editing pages and helping improve the quality and quantity of pages in general and specifically those pages that focus on women and women in the arts. You can keep helping make Wikipedia a better, more equitable, and more representative place.

You can stay active by continuing to edit pages that need improvement.

You might also check out some of the Wikipedia community groups.

Examples of specific Wikipedia community groups include:

• AfroCrowd 
• Art And Community 
• Art And Feminism 
• Indigenous Film and Media 
• Wiki Loves Pride 

If you are looking for an artist to work on you can choose to edit an existing Wikipedia page or create a new page. Probably the easiest way to start editing is to find pages that need to be expanded and developed. 

Art+Feminism Wikipedia-edit-a-thon

The Art+Feminism Wikipedia Meetup and Tasks page lists a variety of flags suggesting editing is needed. These include:

• English Wikipedia Orphan Articles - articles about women and art that are not linked to by any other page
• Citation Problems on English Wikipedia - articles about women and art that need more citation information
• Notability on English Wikipedia - articles about women and art that need citations from secondary sources to verify notability to keep page from being deleted

Additional Wikipedia pages for finding women and art pages that need editing:

To identify incomplete Wikipedia pages it is useful to understand how pages are graded on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a grading system for pages that includes: FA (Featured Articles), A (well organized and complete), GA (good article), B (mostly complete), and C (substantial, but needs work). The two grades that are potentially the most relevant to a Wikipedia-edit-a-thon are the Start (a page exists, but is very incomplete), and Stub (page is very basic or low quality) grades which indicate pages that need significant work.

Wikipedia lists over 8,500 "start" pages for women artists and over 4,500 "stub" pages for women artists. Note that different groups that are part of Wikipedia can assign different statuses and importance to the same article, so a single article might be both a "stub" and also a "start" page. A page's status can be viewed on the "talk" page for that article. Note that when you click on an artist name on one of these pages you are taken to the "talk" page not the "article" page.

• Women artists pages that are classified as a start page
• Women artists pages that are classified as a stub page
