Abstract:

Wiki Education's Scholars & Scientists program engages with and trains subject area experts to address content gaps. This session will explore how these specific edits can have an outsized impact on Wikipedia and how the program is able to achieve this work at scale. In particular this session will focus on medical, election, and disability-related articles. We will explore why having subject area experts is beneficial for all parties - Wikipedia and the subject areas both improve as a part of this work. We will as unpack some challenges and look to the future for partnering and expanding these program offerings.
