"content": "\u003cp>Last weekend, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaden_Smith\">Jaden Smith\u003c/a> -- son of \u003ca href=\"http://www.willsmith.com/\">Will \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://www.jadapinkettsmith.com/\">Jada Pinkett\u003c/a>, and purveyor of \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4762681/jaden-smith-dreadlocks-met-gala-2017/\">dreadlocks as hand accessories\u003c/a> -- took to Twitter to make a very serious accusation. \"The Four Seasons In Toronto Spiked My Pancakes With Cheese,\" he capitalized. \"I'm Surprised I'm Still Alive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/officialjaden/status/868546245173882881\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was part of a wider rant in which Jaden declared that he wanted to \"Throw Up On [Him]self\" and get put on the hotel's \"No Stay List.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the pettiness, privilege, and strange ideas about the dangers of dairy that this outburst laid bare for the public, Jaden's meltdown was not a momentary lapse in judgment; he has not deleted the tweets, which means that, several days on, he's still not embarrassed about assuming that, as a vegan, he could die from ingesting cheese. (Has anyone mentioned to Jaden that Four Seasons pancakes probably already contain eggs and milk? Does Jaden know what vegans are allowed to eat?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, all of this, while incredibly entertaining, seems, in the grand Twitter-related scheme of things, rather petty as long as we have an acting President who uses Twitter as a means to shame his perceived enemies, rant about foreign affairs, and disparage media outlets. For his supporters, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump\">President Trump\u003c/a>'s Twitter account is the stuff of dreams -- a window into every idea he has, as he has it; for his detractors, it's a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-41fbDYZyLo\">national embarrassment\u003c/a>; and for almost everyone watching, it is extraordinarily surreal to see a POTUS communicating with the world in this manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that future generations will look back on this moment in time and see Twitter as an absolute game-changer in the political sphere. But truthfully, Twitter has been having a seismic impact on how the world interacts with itself, and its famous people, for years now. This particular form of social media has absolutely changed not only the nature of how popular culture is disseminated and discussed, it has forever altered the proximity we are able to feel to our heroes. For all intents and purposes, if a celebrity is on Twitter, the world has a direct line to them. Which is why Jimmy Kimmel's \"Mean Tweets\" segments are so simultaneously satisfying and funny:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQVj4iMm8Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Twitter is a means for celebrities to \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/jenniferabidor/celebrity-drunk-tweets-were-privileged-enough-to-see?utm_term=.nsdAzJJ3A#.imQYXJJPY\">drunk dial the world\u003c/a>, make announcements about both \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/rihanna/status/256408408348061697?lang=en\">their work\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/i/moments/826864554403573760\">personal lives\u003c/a>, and reach out to their fans in a way that simply wasn't possible in the communication dark ages, pre-2006. Just weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2017/05/07/nicki-minaj-makes-good-on-offer-to-help-pay-fans-student-loans-tuition/\">Nicki Minaj used the website\u003c/a> to send tuition money to her fans struggling through college. Twitter is also the medium that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/arianagrande\">Ariana Grande\u003c/a> has been using to communicate with the world since the atrocity at her \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Manchester_Arena_bombing\">Manchester Arena\u003c/a> show -- and it all feels significantly more personal than releasing a press release to news outlets and waiting for that information to trickle down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unfortunate downside to all of this easy exchange of information is that we now get an insight into our celebrity darlings that can frequently make us think less of them. Twitter may have humanized famous folks, but with that familiarity comes reality so unfiltered, it is almost impossible in 2017 to keep our heroes on their pedestals. Beyoncé is basically the only major star in America still managing to retain any mystery at all, and that's probably due, in no small part, to the fact that she's one of the few celebrities that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/beyonce\">rarely uses Twitter\u003c/a> at all. Sticking to the relatively silent medium of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BUXxFs4AAQJ/?taken-by=beyonce\">Instagram\u003c/a> gives her exposure, without giving so much away:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BUXxFs4AAQJ/?taken-by=beyonce\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It speaks volumes of how over-exposed we are now, that Beyoncé's \u003ca href=\"http://fusion.kinja.com/how-does-beyonce-keep-her-secrets-in-the-age-of-transpa-1793856405\">level of restraint\u003c/a> is widely viewed as a major feat, even though we all just bore witness to her baby shower. We, as a nation, have become so completely accustomed to watching famous people not just share themselves with us, but also duke it out amongst themselves, that online feuds barely even register anymore. Who can even keep track at this point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, the Kardashians have turned the Twitter feud into an art form (Khloé vs. Amber Rose, Rob vs. Rita Ora, Kim vs. Chloë Moretz, Khloé vs. Chloë Moretz, etc. etc. ) and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/12/26/is-azealia-banks-the-musical-equivalent-of-donald-trump/\">Azealia Banks\u003c/a> is basically propping up an entire career on the back of her account. Drake's been \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6641784/meek-mill-drake-timeline\">in trouble\u003c/a>, though he usually airs beefs in song form (that old traditionalist!); Nicki Minaj isn't afraid to get into it (\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6641794/taylor-swift-nicki-minaj-twitter-argument-timeline\">Taylor Swift was the big one\u003c/a>), Rihanna's been in spats (Ciara, Charlie Sheen); Zayn Malik has gotten into it (Calvin Harris and Louis Tomlinson); and Kanye West's Twitter account is the gift that keeps on giving (unless you're \u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/2013/09/27/jimmy-kimmel-kanye-west-twitter-feud/#dJdNplGM1iq9\">Jimmy Kimmel \u003c/a>or \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/63189-kanye-west-viciously-attacks-wiz-khalifa-in-incredible-twitter-rant/\">Wiz Khalifa\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Axzxe1a78E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a point when \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/stars----theyre-just-like-us--20131610/33407\">Stars: They're just like us!\u003c/a>\" stops being endearing. Finding out that your heroes are as flawed and human as everyone in your every day life leaves the entertainment world with a gaping hole where the icons used to be. The golden age of cinema, for example, was possible because the stars of the day remained a mystery. Would we still swoon over \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Astaire_and_Ginger_Rogers\">Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers\u003c/a> if we'd known the ins and outs of their private lives? Would \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich\">Marlene Dietrich\u003c/a> remain such a fascinating figure today if her public image hadn't been so carefully controlled? Imagine how different the 1980s would have been if Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson were online and bickering all the time. Would we have idolized them in the same way?

But truthfully, Twitter has been having a seismic impact on how the world interacts with itself, and its famous people, for years now. This particular form of social media has absolutely changed not only the nature of how popular culture is disseminated and discussed, it has forever altered the proximity we are able to feel to our heroes. For all intents and purposes, if a celebrity is on Twitter, the world has a direct line to them. Which is why Jimmy Kimmel's \"Mean Tweets\" segments are so simultaneously satisfying and funny:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/JgQVj4iMm8Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/JgQVj4iMm8Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>These days, Twitter is a means for celebrities to \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/jenniferabidor/celebrity-drunk-tweets-were-privileged-enough-to-see?utm_term=.nsdAzJJ3A#.imQYXJJPY\">drunk dial the world\u003c/a>, make announcements about both \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/rihanna/status/256408408348061697?lang=en\">their work\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/i/moments/826864554403573760\">personal lives\u003c/a>, and reach out to their fans in a way that simply wasn't possible in the communication dark ages, pre-2006. Just weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2017/05/07/nicki-minaj-makes-good-on-offer-to-help-pay-fans-student-loans-tuition/\">Nicki Minaj used the website\u003c/a> to send tuition money to her fans struggling through college. Twitter is also the medium that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/arianagrande\">Ariana Grande\u003c/a> has been using to communicate with the world since the atrocity at her \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Manchester_Arena_bombing\">Manchester Arena\u003c/a> show -- and it all feels significantly more personal than releasing a press release to news outlets and waiting for that information to trickle down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unfortunate downside to all of this easy exchange of information is that we now get an insight into our celebrity darlings that can frequently make us think less of them. Twitter may have humanized famous folks, but with that familiarity comes reality so unfiltered, it is almost impossible in 2017 to keep our heroes on their pedestals. Beyoncé is basically the only major star in America still managing to retain any mystery at all, and that's probably due, in no small part, to the fact that she's one of the few celebrities that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/beyonce\">rarely uses Twitter\u003c/a> at all. Sticking to the relatively silent medium of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BUXxFs4AAQJ/?taken-by=beyonce\">Instagram\u003c/a> gives her exposure, without giving so much away:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>For those of you old enough to remember when the internet first became a thing, you might recall that, back in the '90s, websites were boxy and boring, fun stuff like social media and YouTube didn't exist, and the people that mostly put things online were basically thought of as mysterious and hyper-intelligent mole-people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years later, everybody and their grandmas are website-building, blog-maintaining, and photo-editing like it's always been second nature. This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"...the Wikipedia entry for… \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Barker\">Pat Barker\u003c/a>… was a mere three paragraphs,\" Cohen noted. \"Ms. Barker is an acclaimed writer of psychologically nuanced novels, many set during World War I. She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ4ba28-oGs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet. After supporting tens of thousands of students, we’ve proven this model brings high-quality academic information to wide audiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point in history, undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources for feminist groups, and women in general, is the internet. It's where women find each other, commiserate, plan protests, and engage in activism. It's the reason January's \u003ca href=\"https://www.womensmarch.com/event-details/\">Women's March\u003c/a> turned into a global event, and it's the reason \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner\">Brock Turner\u003c/a> will probably never get a date for the rest of his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is well-documented that \u003ca href=\"http://msmagazine.com/blog/2010/03/05/erasing-womens-history-in-our-schools/\">women and minorities\u003c/a> have historically had their voices erased from the history books. Wikipedia offers a DIY tool to ensure those important figures get written back in. Editing on Wikipedia might not be the most fun way to spend your time online, and it's probably not the easiest, but the fact that Wikimedia is making genuine efforts to increase content and editorial diversity is a great step in the right direction. Organizing into groups and learning how to contribute to Wikipedia as an encyclopedic resource could quite literally impact history. There are few more powerful motivators than that.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet. After supporting tens of thousands of students, we’ve proven this model brings high-quality academic information to wide audiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point in history, undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources for feminist groups, and women in general, is the internet. It's where women find each other, commiserate, plan protests, and engage in activism. It's the reason January's \u003ca href=\"https://www.womensmarch.com/event-details/\">Women's March\u003c/a> turned into a global event, and it's the reason \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner\">Brock Turner\u003c/a> will probably never get a date for the rest of his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wikipedia offers a DIY tool to ensure those important figures get written back in. Editing on Wikipedia might not be the most fun way to spend your time online, and it's probably not the easiest, but the fact that Wikimedia is making genuine efforts to increase content and editorial diversity is a great step in the right direction. Organizing into groups and learning how to contribute to Wikipedia as an encyclopedic resource could quite literally impact history. There are few more powerful motivators than that.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
