editWiki North American Conference, Indianapolis IN
editWiki Project Report: Women in Religion -
- Time: Friday October 4, 2024, 11 am EDT to 12 noon
- Place: Hine Hall at Indiana University Indianapolis
- Room IP 208
- Topic:The Women in Religion WikiProject was founded in 2018, with three significant goals: to increase the content about women in religion on Wikipedia; to train others interested in learning how to edit and contribute to Wikipedia and Wikidata; and to create reliable, secondary sources about women in religion. To that end, we have been involved in several impactful projects; most recently, the publication of three monographs of biographies about notable women in religion (with a fourth currently in the planning stage) and experimentations with AI to assist editors in using that technology to increase content about underrepresented people and topics on Wikipedia. We also have monthly zoom planning sessions and editathons. This panel will report on our projects and the contributions we've made to Wikipedia and to Wikidata.
- Participants: Christine Meyer, Colleen Hartung, Jere Odel, Hilary Ward Schnadt, Telesia Musili, Clifford Anderson, Win Whelan and Rosalind Flynn Hinton
Women in Religion: Expanding the Crossroads Across Continents using Rapid Grants, the Case of Kenya -
- Time: Sunday October 6, 2024, 10 am EDT to 11 am
- Place: Hine Hall at Indiana University Indianapolis
- Room IP 208
- Topic: We will address the mutual participation in writing a rapid grant that develops a solid partner Wiki working group in Kenya that overcomes their local challenges from lack of Wifi infrastructure and need for travel, and lack of secondary and online resources. U.S. and Diaspora members will share a session to explain the partnership and challenges and benefits of the partnership. They will discuss strategies used to overcome challenges, train Wikipedians and improve and create high quality articles of Kenyan Matriarchs.
- Participants: Maureen Ong'ombe, Ruth Amwe, Colleen Hartung, Christine Meyer, Win Whelan and Rosalind Flynn Hinton
