Wikipedia:Meetup/Dalit History Month 2017
(Redirected from Wikipedia:DHM)
 | This meetup page is an archive of a past event. Please do not edit the contents of this page. |
Dalit knowledge and history is too often marginalized or missing from narratives of South Asian history and its diaspora.[1] Please join us in improving Wikipedia's coverage of Dalit people, events and issues, to share the contributions to history from Dalits around the world!
Edit-a-thons are being organized in India and the United States for Dalit History Month 2017 by Equality Labs with support from Whose Knowledge?. Our goal is to create or improve 60 articles during April and May... and by popular demand, well into the rest of the year!
See below for some events where you can join others to edit Wikipedia in-person. You're also welcome to work on improving Dalit content online anytime :)
