Beyond the Binary: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2025

Think beyond the binary and help improve the visibility of the Queer community during the 2025 Edit-a-thon!

Wikipedia may well be the first place most of us look when looking for information.

This open-source page is written by people from all over the world and is a resource for AI like ChatGPT. But what if the information on it is biased? Did you know that only than 5% of Wikipedia entries contain non-binary identifications?

Be part of making Wikipedia more inclusive

It's time to change that - and you can be a part of it!

The annual Edit-a-thon is taking place on Monday 27 January 2025, from 16h00 to 19h00. Students, creatives and anyone working in organisations who wants to contribute are welcome to join. It is preferable for participants to bring their own laptop to work on entries during the workshop.

This annual Edit-a-thon on making Wikipedia more inclusive, is organised by Studium Generale, ECWO (Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations), dr. Laura Braden (Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication), Wikimedia Netherlands and Kunstinsituut Melly.

Entrance is free but reservations are highly recommeded. You can sign up via this link.

More information

Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations (ECWO) is committed to fostering inclusion. Our founding purpose in 2014 was to empower women and to create a level playing field by building communities for organisational change. Today, ECWO has expanded its perspective to embrace a wider vision of a world of inclusive prosperity. Our new mission is to create a sense of belonging for everyone within organisations through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), anchored in social safety. We strive for settings where everyone feels valued, respected and supported. We conduct research and produce evidence-led educational programmes, events, coaching, advocacy, and advisory services. We stay true to our roots, and we have evolved to recognise that achieving true inclusion and equity requires encompassing all, regardless of gender or identity.
