Join the Global South GLAM-WIKI 2015 Challenge!
The GLAM-WIKI 2015 programme committee invites conference participants (and everyone else...) to help edit Wikipedia articles about Global South GLAMs.
Why?
One of the big challenges for GLAM institutions is improving the articles about their gallery, library, archive or museum without breaching the “conflict of interest” guidelines.
How?
- Improve or translate or create a Wikipedia article about a GLAM in the Global South. Indicate which article(s) you have worked on below.
- You can also work on these institutions' information on Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons...
- The programme committee will showcase the most improved article(s) by the end of GLAM-WIKI 2015.
