First steps on wikipedia

During the event, we invite you to contribute to Wikipedia and to the discussions around the gender gap on Wikipedia. You can edit an existing article to improve it, create a new one about a subject that doesn’t exist, but we also highly value the sharing of editing experiences, and ideas about what could make Wikipedia a more welcoming and colorful place!

Open questions:

Here are interrogations we would like to share with you:

if Wikipedia can be considered as a tool to re·write history, how would you like it to be written?
what is the influence the way we write on the representation of history and its main figures?
can writing ever be neutral?
