På kurs for å lære å lære bort VisualEditor

Skrevet av wikipedianer Kjersti Lie

I desember 2017 søkte jeg Wikimedia Norge om stipend for å overvære et av Jorid Martinsen (WMNO)s kurs i VisualEditor-redigering (VE). Hvorfor jeg ville dette, har jeg forklart nedenfor.

Lightning talk at Wikimedia Diversity Conference

Written by Sabine Rønsen

This summer I was lucky enough to land a summer job at Wikimedia Norway. And over the course of two months I interviewed six female contributors from both Norway and Sweden, to get their perspective on the gender gap on Wikipedia. We talked about the gender gap among the contributors, but also the gap in terms of the content on Wikipedia. Like the gender imbalance in biographies, and the lack of articles on topics related to women.
