Revision as of 11:23, 10 August 2020
This requirement we will create a new article on Wikipedia for the Women in Red Project. As a cohort of writers and editors, we will apply the skills we learned in our first project to constructing a well-written and well-sourced encyclopedia article. This Wikipedia contribution will be well-researched, supported, and written—adding an overall significant contribution to the wiki.
- Deborah Stanfield, Macon Library
The Women in Red Project attempts to decrease the systemic bias of the “content gender gap” on Wikipedia and addresses it in a positive way through shared values. The project focuses on creating content regarding women’s biographies, women’s works, and women’s issues. Women in Red aims to turn “red links”—an indication of a missing article—into blue ones. We will help with one article this semester.
We will begin with a draft article that everyone will write and edit for the second part of the semester. By the end of the term, we should have a collaboratively written and edited article that is polished and ready to be transferred to the Wikipedia mainspace.
I am willing to entertain suggestions for a topic focus; i.e., we may choose whatever red link we’d like. The project lists many, but I’d like to suggest we keep it as local as we can by choosing a Georgia woman to research and write about. You might begin thinking about this at the beginning of the semester. Find a figure of interest and research her both via the web and Galileo. If there is enough secondary material, then she is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia. Post your suggestion in our discussion as soon as possible.
We will choose our subject around midterm .
