Wikipedian Lisa Maule based in Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington is hosting an online edit-a-thon for existing editors to share resources and build community around the subject.
Women still make up a very small percentage of biographies on Wikipedia. Inspired by the new book Making Space, this project hopes to help fill the gaps of historical knowledge in the digital realm and increase the visibility of prolific female Architects. There are currently only nine women listed in the “New Zealand women architects” section, while there are over 500 women named in Making Space.
The video conference link can be joined at any time between 10am - 4pm.
