Feminists, artists unite for Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

By Jun Chou | Published 7 hours ago

Laura Fogarty participates in the Wikipedia Art Feminism Edit-A-Thon, hosted by the Art and Museum Library and Information Student Society on Tuesday.

Wikipedia got a little more herstory in its database Tuesday.

The Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon, hosted by the Art and Museum Library and Information Student Society allowed people to add or improve Wikipedia articles on women in art. Tuesdays edit-a-thon took place in the Sloane Art Library of Hanes Art Center.

The movement began last year and this years Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon took place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on March 7, the day before International Womens Day. With over 1,500 participants in more than 17 countries, the event resulted in the creation of 400 new Wikipedia pages and the revision of 500 existing articles.

A 2011 Wikimedia survey found that less than 13 percent of its contributors are female, which has translated to a gender bias in Wikipedia articles according to Heather Gendron, the head of the Sloane Art Library.

You would think with this whole new tool out there to document our history, that we would have learned that womens voices need to be heard and their history documented, Gendron said.

The event focused on female artists, specifically from North Carolina, including UNC faculty who are also visual artists.

I see these women as not only important to our local history, but many of them are prominent regionally, nationally, even globally, Gendron said. Its important that we have documentation of their legacy.

Kim Henze, president of the Art and Museum Library and Information Student Society, said events like this are necessary because of the growing dependency on quick, online sources.

Nicola Valley doesnt fit Wikipedia definition

Dear Editor,

The Wikipedia entry on sewage sludge states the sites chosen for land application tend to have high poverty and low economic prosperity.

Poverty? Low opportunity? Is this Merritt and the Nicola Valley? Is this how we are thought of? That appears to be what our provincial government and regional districts that dump their sludge in our valley think of us. Are we going to prove them right by allowing this?

Lets stand up for ourselves. Lets stand up for the pristine beauty that we have around us.

Lets stand up for the protection of our waterways and aquifers, our land, our air, and the animals and birds that share our valley. Lets teach our children that even if others have a low opinion (or even no opinion) of us and want to take advantage of what we have, we dont let them.

We can stand up for ourselves by saying no more sludge here, by educating others, by writing letters, by standing together. We must decide how we wish to be thought of.

Poverty? We are not poor. We have food, we have shelter, we have the beauty of nature and the kindness of neighbours. This is a wealthy place.

Without opportunity? We have the opportunity to be ourselves, to be creative, to add to civilization and to protect our environment. We are full of opportunity.

Lets not be a Wikipedia definition of a chosen sludge land application site. Together, lets stand up for who we are and just say no more.
