Emory students, faculty expand Wikipedia entries for underrepresented people, topics
Emory University students and faculty will contribute articles and entries they’ve researched and written to improve Wikipedia entries about women leaders, Latin-American folklore and international historical events relating to women’s rights.
Emory will host the Global Women Wikipedia Write-In on Tuesday in the university’s Woodruff Library.
Students are expected to upload articles about La Patasola, a female jungle monster from South American folklore; Enriqueta Arvelo Larriva, a Venezuelan poet; and several other Latin American and Caribbean-related people and topics. I
To participate, students must become registered Wikipedia contributors, which allows them to continue the project after Tuesday’s event.
The Write-In begins at 10 a.m.
