Dear friends,
I'm about to submit a manuscript for the upcoming issue on Feminist
engagements with archives and new modes of History published by the
Australian Feminist Studies and I would love to have a bit more activity on
the Wikipedia bias detector that we are building and I am presenting in
this paper. That is why I'm asking you If you feel like exploring the
feature a bit.
When accessing the prototype you will be able to explore a few Wikipedia
categories and react with the feedback buttons if you think that there is
any biased information. This prototype will be adapted to be used during
the upcoming art+feminism edit-a-thon, if you wish to participate in the
project please contact me as well and we can discuss it.
