Wiki Women in Red is an international online community of people of all genders focused on improving Wikipedia's systemic bias related to content gender equity. The co-founders of Wiki Women in Red, Roger Bamkin and Dame Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, will facilitate a round-table discussion addressing society's role in Wikipedia's content gender gap (women and non-binary biographies, their works, their issues), including its effect on reliable sources and establishing notability. We'll go over how to edit Wikipedia, plus tools, photos, social media, and more ways attendees can get involved so that Wikipedia achieves its goal of containing "the sum of all human knowledge".
Dame Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight is a Trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation Board and a Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University (Boston). She is a co-founder of Women in Red, a virtual community that focuses on improving the content gender gap across all language Wikipedias. Women in Red was shortlisted for the ITU/UN Women GEM-TECH award and Rosie was knighted in part for her Wikipedia work. “While I’ve created more than 5,500 Wikipedia articles, my sons tell me that I can’t create all of them, that I have to inspire others. That’s my commitment.”
