Wikipedia by far is the most used online Encyclopedia by all. I have been contributing volunteer time to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects; my favourite is WikiData for sometime now.
Long story short, we all use and copy Wikipedia but the sad thing is just a handful of us give back; am refering to adding content. If you already don’t know Wikipedia is made by people like you and I who use it everyday.
March is Art+Feminism month of course International Women’s Day is in March too and glad I am a March born :D.
Before I continue, note that eventhough everyone can contribute to Wikipedia it is not a toy box, playground or a tool for marketting and proving that you are the best blogger in Ghana or the world, and it is not a marketing tool I repeat.
Art and Feminism (stylized as Art+Feminism) is an annual worldwide edit-a-thon to add content to Wikipedia about female artists. – Wikipedia
Wikimedia Ghana User Group is the oldest user group in Ghana working towards shared knowledge and mission of the Global Wikimedia movement.
I participated in the 4 continuous sessions as both volunteer assistant and facilitator. Weekend 1 through to 3 was opened to both male and female participnats. It was focused on getting both intermediate contributors up to speed and helping new contributors get started.
Weekend 4 was dedicated to women only and Wikimedia Ghana UG is proud to have participants from Developers in Vogue. Here is a great recap by Setor titled Wonder Women of Wiki
Articles contributed to or created were targed at women with little or no coverage who actually met WP:Notabiity.
