Editatona 25th Anniversary Gender and Wikipedia #17E

> Theme

The past Saturday 17 January we celebrate a virtual editatona about women from different disciplines on the occasion of 25th anniversary of Wikipedia. With this activity we have inaugurated 2026, a year in which we will try to reflect on how this tool that we all use has evolved.

Here we also share the video of the virtual party organized by the Wikimedia Foundation on January 15 and involving people from all over the world:

> Expert

This time we do not have an invited expert, but we do have a moment of collective reflection. Patricia Horrillo, founder of Wikisphere, shared a few words for placing editatone in the context of Wikipedia's 25 years, inviting us to think not only about what this project has meant for the free knowledge, but also how artificial intelligences are transforming the way we access, produce and validate information.

> In the media

On the occasion of Wikipedia's 25th anniversary, different media outlets have been interested in the impact and trajectory of the project. In this section we share some of the pieces in which colleagues from Wikiesfera and WikiAragón have participated.
