Know My Name edit-a-thon, Tasmanian School of Art, 8 March 2020

Just 18 per cent of biographies on Wikipedia are about women. When it comes to female artists and creators, that number is even lower.

Wikimedia Australia partnered with the National Gallery of Australia on its Know My Name project, to enhance the understanding and appreciation of work by Australian artists who identify as women.

In March 2020, we co-hosted a series of edit-a-thons with galleries and libraries around Australia on the weekend of International Women's day. Our goal was to create 100 new pages about female creators, also as part of Art+Feminism.

The campaign dashboard for the project is here.

Meet your Wikipedians

edit

This program of events is been supported by an incredibly skilled group of female Wikipedians around Australia. You can read more about them here!

What should I work on during the editathon?

edit

There are many different ways for you to contribute today. Wikipedia is the product of millions of individual contributions and every change that is made, no matter how small, makes a difference!

We’ve prepared a list of suggested subjects and assembled some preliminary sources to get you started. Keep in mind Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest guidelines when selecting your subject to make sure it is appropriate for you to make the edits.

We suggest you chose to work on a female creator from the same state as you. Once you’ve decided which task you’d like to tackle, add your username to the table.

Lists of artists for each city's edit-a-thon

edit

From the lists below, a list of the Australian women artists whose biographies were not created at the IWD edit-a-thons in March 2020 was curated.
