Wikipedia writing workshop: Making media artists visible!

Monthly meeting for writing on Wikipedia

As part of the project "Media Art on Wikipedia", our first edit-a-thon took place here at the ZKM on February 24, 2024.  Since then, we have been meeting monthly to expand and publish biographical articles by artists.

Did you miss our first edit-a-thon on media artists? Then come along and get to know Wikipedia as a contributor.

Wikipedia is one of the most important sources of information on the internet. With the aim of giving media artists more visibility in the online encyclopedia, we want to write more than 500 Wikipedia articles about media artists.

Guest: Reisen8 with support on the topics:

- Biographical articles: On the importance of images, introduction, web links and categories - What do we like to read?

- Helping people to help themselves: How do I stay on the ball? What to do in case of difficulties? 

- Deepen your knowledge of creating, uploading and incorporating language files into articles, including in foreign-language Wikipedias.

Audio files can be recorded and processed on site, but will be available from native speakers as well.
