Visible Women on Wikipedia

Each year, Whose Knowlege? hosts the #VisibleWikiWomen project to increase the number of photographs of women, especially notable women and women from marginalized groups, on Wikimedia projects. It also includes photographs of women's artwork and other creations. The campaign brings together Wikimedia organizations (chapters and user groups) with feminist organizations, cultural institutions, community organizers and individuals from around the world to make women visible on Wikipedia and on the wider internet.

The third annual campaign started on March 8 and continues until May 8, 2020. These are some of the images from that campaign. To see more images from the project, visit the Media related to VisibleWikiWomen 2020 at Wikimedia Commons.

White men need not be pictured

I continue to object to Women in Red's WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS mentality. While addressing our systemic bias is fine, I find these efforts at social justice ultimately discriminatory. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So ignore the systemic bias? To address the bias you have to directly discriminate against it.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's also a very poor interpretation about "WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS", which is about activist addition of unverifiable information. Women in Red is nothing of the sort.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:18, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How would you suggest addressing systemic bias without being discriminatory? Kaldari (talk) 17:14, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think encouraging all people, including people of color and those from the Global South, needs to be discriminatory. Continued editor recruiting may or may not address our systemic bias; the fault lies in our sources, not ourselves. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:22, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marginal eyes

Can't help wondering when more than half the people on this planet will stop being "invisibilized", "marginalized" in some way or 'nother? P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 18:51, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
