WikiDonne User Group is a group of users who work on issues related to women and more generally to diversity (territorial, cultural, linguistic, generational, gender, attitudinal and ability, etc.) within the movement wiki.
Goals
The main objective is to increase diversity of any kind and reduce the "gender gap" within Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement in general:
- enrich the contents concerning women and non- and under-represented groups in Wikimedia projects (especially in Italian)
- offering space and support to people who want to collaborate on projects
- coordinating people in order to involve more women to write on Wikipedia and to improve the quality of the entries
- creating events, meetings, edit-a-thons, conferences, campaigns aimed at raising awareness of women's biographies and issues and increasing the Wikimedia movement worldwide
- collaborating with other groups that have our same goals: WikiWomen, WikiMujeres, Les sans pagEs, Art + Feminism, Whose Knowledge?, Wiki Loves Women, Wikimedia LGBT+ etc.
History
Awareness of the huge gender gap during presentations (especially by Rosiestep and FloNight) in Wikimania Esino Lario 2016, the idea of doing something was born. After the creation of WikiDonne project (4 August) for the participation in the HerStory editathon organized by May Hachem together with the UN (12 August), on 14 October 2016 Camelia begins the procedures for the recognition as user group affiliated to Wikimedia Foundation by AffCom. The group, based in Rome, has the following description:
We are a group of users who aim to increase diversity and improve the coverage of topics concerning women in Wikipedia, drawing up lists of entries (to be created from scratch, to be improved and translated) and organizing events. Men are always welcome, our intention is not to transform Wikipedia into "Donnepedia" but to make everyone aware of the reality of the gender gap in content and participation.
Camelia involves two other Wikimedians in the group: Beatrice and Susanna for inclusion as active users of the user group.
On November 7, 2016, WikiDonne is officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation as an affiliate of the Wikimedia movement, with the code WDG.
WikiDonne UG managed the Diversity Space during Wikimania 2019 in Stockholm.
