Wikimedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.
Let’s change that. Join us at the Frances Morrison Central Library, Saskatoon Public Library on Thursday, March 9 from 5:00 - 9:00 PM for an all day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism.
We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. People of all gender identities and expressions, particularly transgender, cisgender, and gender nonconforming women, are invited to participate.
Date: Thursday, March 9, 2017
Time: 5:00PM - 9:00PM
Location: The Gallery, Frances Morrison Central Library, Saskatoon Public Library, 311 23 Street East, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 0J6, Canada

Don't worry! If you haven't edited Wikipedia before and don't have a Wikipedia User Name yet, we will help you on the day of the event! And remember to have fun!
We will soon post a list of articles that would benefit from edits and expansion during the edit-a-thon, but you are welcome to work on anything you like.
Feel free to add suggestions to this list:
