~Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2010 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia.~

Let's continue the work of previous Edit-a-Thons across the world, which added more than 100 women artists to Wikipedia (http://www.artnews.com/2014/02/06/art-and-feminism-wikipedia-editathon-creates-pages-for-women-artists/). With access to OCAD U library’s books and article databases, you are invited to help continue adding and editing entries.

Everyone is welcome!
