Update: I'm not going to your meetup or whatever, so please don't post it here. Also it's funny how time flies on by, innit. --Burstroc (talk) 20:34, 5 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Help address the systematic biases relating to gender, race, and social class that lead to under-representation of topics, people, and organizations on Wikipedia.
The ‘Big Four,’ or the four white male artists that comprised the Northwest School, were the subject of the famous 1953 LIFE magazine article, "Mystic Painters of the Northwest": Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Each of these artists have robust pages on Wikipedia. However, key female-identifying artists from this time such as Margaret Gove Cafferman — who Mark Tobey cited as an influence on his work — lack Wikipedia articles.[* 1] To help address the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on female-identifying artists of the Pacific Northwest.
Childcare, snacks from local businesses, editing tutorials, books, and lists of artists will be provided.
All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!
Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.
