While anyone can be a volunteer Wikipedia editor, it is mostly men, with only 10 per cent of editors identifying as women. Sarah Morris of Hackforge and Julie Tucker of the Windsor Arts Council are helping to organize a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon on Saturday. "We are very vocally saying 'no, let's add some more women on to Wikipedia and I think it's a positive thing." According to Tucker, there's a huge void on the online site when it comes to covering women in the arts. By Sunday, both women hope Wikipedia will have more of a female touch.
