For Dr Sam Bowker, creating a Wikipedia on decorative Egyptian tentmaking changed his life. His research for the page led to a series of peer-reviewed publications and exhibitions, and ultimately grew into a project that was recognised by the ARC for research impact in 2018.

This February community meeting, we will hear about his collaborative work with the Historians of Islamic Art Association on initiatives for Wikipedia editing as a teaching strategy that has resulted in new pages, expanded stubs, and improved existing sites for Islamic art. Dr Bowker is the Sub Dean Graduate Studies (Faculty of Arts & Education) and a Senior Lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture at Charles Sturt University.

This presentation will be followed by open discussion from the community. Add anything you wish to discuss to the agenda here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Online/AustralianCommunityMeeting_9_February_2022#Agenda

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, it’s the 6th most visited website on the internet. Wikipedia content is created and edited worldwide by volunteer contributors.

It has long been acknowledged that there is a lack of diversity among contributors.

People are meeting up across the world to help remedy the imbalance and bias in the diversity of voices on Wikipedia. The City of Sydney Library has joined this movement, hosting edit-a-thons to increase and improve content relevant to our diverse communities.

Everyone is welcome to join our online edit-a-thon. It will be led by Kirsten Thorpe, Nathan “Mudyi” Sentance, and experienced Wikipedia editors Toby Hudson and Caddie Brain. Kirsten’s professional and research interests relate to Indigenous self-determination in libraries and archives. Nathan works to ensure that the cultural and historical narratives conveyed by memory institutions are being told and controlled by First Nations people. With their help, participants will focus on improving articles of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on Wikipedia.

No experience is necessary to join the edit-a-thon. Bring your own laptop or tablet and connect to our free wi-fi or use one of our devices. (A limited number of library devices will be available for use at the event).

Participants are encouraged to set up a Wikipedia account prior to the workshop.

It's back!! We are thrilled to announce that our second Franklin Women Edit-a-thon will be held on Thursday 7th April 2022.

Register here!

Did you know that there is a serious gender bias on Wikipedia, one of the world’s most-visited websites? Only 19% of the people profiled on Wikipedia are women. This means that many talented women (and their work) are not getting the recognition they deserve, as well as critically skewing perceptions about the contributions that women make to society.

Wikipedia Edit-a-thons are a wonderful (and fun!) way to combat this bias and make the internet just that little bit better.

Franklin Women is excited to be hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on World Health Day, Thursday 7th April, to increase the online representation of women working in health and medical research.

You don’t need any experience to participate as we will provide all the training you need and several experienced Wikipedians will be there to help you on the day. Editing Wikipedia might sound daunting but the platform is designed so that anyone can contribute, and you can do this in many different ways – from improving the quality of existing articles to adding a whole new page, it all makes a difference!

Geelong’s musicians are missing from Wikipedia. As part of Surrounds Sound, learn to edit Wikipedia and help write the Australian music record.

Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world written by an international community of volunteer editors. When you search something online, Wikipedia is often the top result, with information boxes on Google sourced from its pages.

No experience required! Just bring a laptop or device and sign up for a Wikipedia account in advance.

This edit-a-thon is presented by Surround Sounds, Australian Music Vault and Wikimedia Australia with founding partner Australia Council for the Arts. It forms part The Record - Australian Music on Wikipedia, a new initiative that aims to grow the low number of Wikipedia articles about Australian musicians, organisations and publications.
