Wikipedia coaches will be present to help those who need it!
All participants must register for the main session. Those confident in their skills may remain in the main Zoom room to edit.
Quatrefoil Library's collection has over 30,000 items, including reference books and archived periodicals. Quatrefoil also subscribes to the EBSCO LGBT Life with Full Text database (coverage). There will likely be a demo on how to use; otherwise, sign-in details will be provided.
podcasts like Making Gay History may be of use (does every subject have a Wikipedia article? if they do, could a podcast link be added to the External links section of the article?)
As part of the global Wiki Loves Pride campaign, to kick off global Pride season and to affirm that Black Lives Matter, Wikipedians invite new and experienced editors from around the world to improve or add content to Wikipedia about notable LGBTQ+ and / or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color), as well as the history, culture, laws, and events that LGBTQ+ and / or BIPOC have initiated or which impact them.
Wikimedia LGBT+ is a global thematic user group composed of people from diverse, intersectional, multilingual, multicultural communities. We seek to increase the number of people and perspectives contributing to LGBTQ+ information on Wikipedia, center intersectional LGBTQ+ identities and issues, and encourage institutions to add their authority information, research and images to the public domain. Contributions to information about LGBTQ+ topics in politics and policy, medicine, topics in identity sexuality, and society, rights and attitudes, history, culture, and institutions will vastly affect the ways in which these topics are researched and understood internationally. In the past, Wikipedia articles on these topics have been riddled with a lack of scholarly sources and lack of perspectives, skewing public perceptions and affecting research and decisions in public policy, science and medical practice, and community acceptance.
