Improving Equity on Wikipedia

Lightning talk

Abstract:

A brief overview of a new equity tool Wiki Education is developing. These pages will take advantage of Listeria, PetScan, and draw on inspiration from Women in Red to generate lists of individuals that do not yet have articles in English Wikipedia. This tool will also have Dashboard integration to encourage a broader audience to create a more diverse set of articles.
