First steps on wikipedia

[edit]

During the event, we invite you to contribute to Wikipedia and to the discussions around the gender gap on Wikipedia. You can edit an existing article to improve it, create a new one about a subject that doesn’t exist, but we also highly value the sharing of editing experiences, and ideas about what could make Wikipedia a more welcoming and colorful place!

Open questions:

[edit]

Here are interrogations we would like to share with you:

  • if Wikipedia can be considered as a tool to re·write history, how would you like it to be written?
  • what is the influence the way we write on the representation of history and its main figures?
  • can writing ever be neutral?
