FreeWhy we edit? Less than 10% of editors on Wikipedia are women. Wikipedia is the largest and most popular general reference work on the internet with more than 40 million articles in more than 250 different languages. The fact is when we don't tell our stories or participate in the ways our history is preserved, it gets erased. Let's build our local contribution to the movement! We provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, ongoing editing support, reference materials, childcare, and refreshments. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate, particularly transgender and cisgender women. Squeaky Wheel invites back Toronto artist and Wikipedian extraordinaire Zeesy Powers to facilitate tutorials and discussions. New this year is a collaboration with the Albright Knox Art Gallery, who will provide reference materials on the artists featured in their exhibition We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965—85 (on view from February 16—may 27).
