February Community Meeting: From tentmaking to pagemaking | 2022-02-09 8:00:00 AM | 2022-02-09 9:30:00 AM | 10 | National | Online |
How editing Wikipedia reshaped an academic career |
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 |

Help improve articles of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on Wikipedia! |
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.

-33.89058, 151.18643 | Franklin Women is excited to be hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on World Health Day to increase the online representation of women working in health and medical research. |
It's back!! We are thrilled to announce that our second Franklin Women Edit-a-thon will be held on Thursday 7th April 2022. 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! |

An introduction to Wikidata, a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. |
Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. Launched in 2012, Wikidata acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others. Learn what Wikidata is, explore key concepts and vocabulary, how it relates to other Wikimedia projects and see what makes it so powerful. No experience required! This session is offered as part of the Wikimedia Australia Wikidata Fellowships, grants of $1000 (AUD) to develop a prototype or undertake an investigation using Wikidata. You will be matched with a Wikidatatician who will mentor you throughout your project offering resources, feedback and support. |

Mythbusting Wikipedia: Misinformation, AI, and Volunteers | 2023-08-01 3:00:00 AM | 2023-08-01 4:00:00 AM | 10 | National | Online |
Learn how reliable Wikipedia is, how it’s being used in classrooms, and how it can help people understand referencing, misinformation, and the need for reliable sources. |
Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia, edited by volunteers from around the world. In this session you’ll learn how reliable Wikipedia is, how it’s being used in classrooms, and how it can help people understand referencing, misinformation, and the need for reliable sources. Information from Wikipedia is used by search engines like Google, and AI chatbots like Chat GPT, and you’ll see how easy it is to edit Wikipedia yourself to make sure this information remains correct. This event is being hosted by ALIA, and is open to ALIA Members and Non-members. Registrations can be made on at the ALIA website. This event will be held online on Zoom. |

New advances for Wikipedia integrated academic journals | 2021-11-10 11:00:00 PM | 2021-11-11 12:00:00 AM | 11 | International | On the changing relationship between Wikipedia and academic publishing. |
The relationship between Wikipedia and academic publishing is changing. In particular, WikiJournals are bringing together the scholarly rigour of academic publishing with the massive impact of Wikipedia and Wikidata. Participating journals publish a range of formats: from broad reviews copied fully into Wikipedia, to image galleries that get integrated throughout the encyclopedia, to stand-alone research and teaching articles. What does this look like to an Academic? We're used to even top academic articles getting <10,000 views ever, whereas a Wikipedia article on the same topic can get that many each day. Getting both a peer reviewed, citable journal article, that's also integrated into Wikipedia to reach broader demographics like students, journalists and policymakers merges the best of both worlds. What does this look like to a librarian? It's an interesting way to match quality assurance. It's also unusual to see journals that are free to both reader and author ('Diamond OA'). Article metadata is also integrated Wikidata - an exciting meta-database that's flexible, human- and machine-readable, and multilingual. What does this look like to a Wikipedian? It's an effective was of drawing in subject-experts who would otherwise not have contributed to a Wikimedia project as authors, peer reviewers and editors. It's a way to generate new high-quality content as well as thoroughly audit existing content. For those who came to last year's session (https://doi.org/10.26181/5ED388168AE4B) this seminar will cover new ground and avoid repetition, but for those who didn't, we'll still be introducing the necessary background. We'll look at new experiments in format, statistics on impacts so far, and what lessons can be applied to pother projects. |

Join Open Access Australasia for a festival of thoughtful panels and topical presentations |
Wikimedia Australia is a member of Open Access Australasia and excited to be sharing in this year's Open Access Week events on the theme 'It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity'. In keeping with the theme of Building Structural Equity we will be looking at, using open science to combat global challenges, openness through a First Nations lens, the benefits and barriers to OERs, what open means for different disciplines, accessibility, and non-technical communication, as well as hacking OA, shaking up research assessment and how different parts of the open knowledge ecosystem interacts. Events will be held via Zoom each day to suit time zones from Australia’s west to New Zealand’s east. Register for the events and you can save Open Access Australasia’s official Zoom backgrounds to use for the events. |
