They made more than 1,000 edits and created new articles to expand the presence of women and gender nonbinary people in liberal arts fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event, which invited participants of all backgrounds and genders, was part of a nationwide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artandfeminism.org\/\">Arts + Feminism<\/a> Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, professors from different departments \u2014 from art history to exercise science \u2014 encourage their students to attend. They even integrate it into course assignments and use it for extra credit opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransy\u2019s campus is uniquely suited to host an Edit-a-thon,\u201d said professor Emily Goodman, a co-founder of the event. \u201cUnlike the larger institutions that host Edit-a-thons as major- or department-based events, Transy allows for more engagement between all professors and students and has the opportunity to teach students a unique set of skills in a wide variety of classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art history major Katherine Lewellen said, \u201cThrough the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, I learned about the ways in which women have been excluded from art institutions.&#8221; She explained how she learned to edit an article on a female artist, while combating the lack of female representation in academia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-810x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10510\" width=\"517\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-810x570.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-350x246.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-730x513.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2020\/03\/ig2-2.jpg 1092w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also wanting to help close the gender gap, political science major Ashleigh King tried to create an entirely new article. She wrote a page on Mary Jane Warfield, which has since been deleted from the site because of an issue pertaining to Wikipedia\u2019s strict guidelines of notability, which often hinders female representation. \u201cI\u2019m going to continue to develop Mary Jane\u2019s page,\u201d King said. \u201cHer story is too important to Kentucky history to be ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Kerri Hauman, the other co-founder of the school&#8217;s Edit-a-thons, said, \u201cOne of the things we\u2019ve come to value about this event has been watching the students wanting to become involved.&#8221; She and Goodman concluded that students often find anger in the lack of female representation on the site, and become inspired to fight against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Annebelle Klein is a Transylvania senior double majoring in writing, rhetoric, and communication and French<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania recently hosted an event to help address a lack of gender equality on the world&#8217;s most popular reference website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":10512,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[25,30],"tags":[442],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-10501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-events","tag-liberal-arts-feminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
