2016 Art+Feminism Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon
Art+Feminism is pleased to announce its third annual Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon, an all-day event designed to generate coverage of women and the arts on Misplaced Pages and encourage female editorship. The central New York event will take place at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at The Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54 Street, on March 5, 2016 from from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will include a panel discussion, tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, ongoing editing support, reference materials, childcare, and refreshments. Node edit-a-thons are being planned for the month of March at an estimated 125 venues on every inhabited continent and online.
Last year, over 1500 participants at more than 75 events around the world participated in the second annual Art+Feminism Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Misplaced Pages. Let's double those results in 2016! Want to volunteer? Not in New York and want to organize an event? Email us at info@art.plusfeminism.org to learn more and get involved. Funds available on a first come, first serve basis for node events, to defray the expense of refreshments and childcare.

Background
Art+Feminism is a rhizomatic campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Misplaced Pages, and to encourage female editorship. Misplaced Pages's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Misplaced Pages's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Misplaced Pages. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.
We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly trans- and cisgender women, to address this absence by organizing in-person, communal updating of Misplaced Pages’s entries on art and feminism. All our materials have Creative Commons licensing, so we encourage you to reference and remix our workflows and training materials to suit the needs of your community.
Interested in organizing an event?
We invite people of all gender identities and expressions, particularly trans and cisgender women, to address this absence by organizing in-person, communal updating of Misplaced Pages’s entries on art and feminism. Those interested in organizing a node are encouraged to: join the listserv; contact us via email at info@art.plusfeminism.org; and to review our Organizer Toolkit for further instructions.
