| − | |abstract=Wikimedians of Indiana are in their second year since establishment and would like to take the opportunity to share what this group of dedicated users has been up to since its last update. This is a diverse group of long-time Wikimedians and new users alike. As a group we have continued and expanded our community partnerships throughout Indiana. The efforts of the Wikimedians of Indiana are funded by the Central Indiana Community Foundation through the Library fund. One of the efforts has been to support a student employee fund. This fund has been used to hire 4-6 student workers to become Wikipedia editors dedicated to expanding and creating Wikipedia content related to the state of Indiana. |

This will provide a vast range of perspectives on the work of the Wikimedians of Indiana User group and its impact both at the Indiana University Indianapolis and in the community. The proposed panel will take a look at where the group is now, individual group member experiences, and plans for the future of Wikimedia Indiana. |

| + | At this crucial crossroads for Wikipedia, we must prioritize representation and inclusion to ensure the continued relevance and significance of our projects. Our session will explore the need to revitalize the presence of Latinx editors in the United States, focusing on the unique challenges of bilingual editing and the opportunities for growth in both English and Spanish Wikipedia. We will present findings from our research on Latino search behavior, underscoring Wikipedia’s role as one of the single most used websites by Latinx to seek and find information. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally, we will discuss our experience organizing the recent Repro in Texas Edit-A-Thon, where we will share insights on the importance of fostering community engagement and amplifying diverse and local voices. Join us in this critical discussion and help us sketch the next stage of our Wikipedia work, where we aim to close the gap on Spanish and English U.S. Latinx articles, increase community engagement, and strengthen the presence of Latinx editors at this turning point for the Wikimedia movement. |
