hi everyone, a couple of months ago there was a wikipedia edit-a-thon here in munich that was attended by myself, gretta louw, tamiko thiel & quite a lot of others. it was a good event, altho somewhat frustrating - as many wikipedia editing experiences are!! (i blogged about it here: http://creative-catalyst.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/195-whats-wrong-with-wikipedia.html)
anyway the good news is that as a result, there are now 2 new wikipedia articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Catlow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretta_Louw & some editing was done on other pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamiko_Thiel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Varley_Jamieson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Abrahams (there was also a page created for Susanne Wiegner but it has been deleted; we might have also worked on some other pages but i can't remember now ...) gretta's and my articles both still have tags saying "multiple issues", despite having lots of quite reputable references. mine needs someone who does not have a "close connection" to me (i don't know how wikipedia defines "close") to add more secondary sources. gretta's article is an orphan, meaning it needs links from other wikipedia pages to her article. it also says it needs additional citations, it already has more than plenty of male artists who don't have the same tags on their pages so i think once it's no longer an orphan we should be able to get rid of that. so, if anyone out there has idle time on their hands & feels like entering into the twisted labyrinth of wikipedia editing, i invite you to contribute to improving these articles :) h : ) -- helen varley jamieson he...@creative-catalyst.com <mailto:he...@creative-catalyst.com> http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.upstage.org.nz *We have a situation, Coventry! <http://www.wehaveasituation.net/?p=1402>* 24 November 2016
