Last Monday, March 16, we held a new face-to-face session of the project “Visitising comic book illustrators and artists on Wikipedia”, coordinated by Wikisphere and funded by the Women's Institute. Eight participants gathered to create, translate and improve articles about comic book women who had not yet been present on Wikipedia in Spanish, adding a total of 9 articles published during the day.

The session took place after the conclusion of the four talks of the CYCLE I | They were always there: Pioneers of illustration and comics, driven by Elisa McCausland y Diego Salgado, thus closing the first phase of the project with this editing workshop.

The articles worked in these workshops start from the complete list of the Viñetaria project, which takes its name from the book Vineyard: universal story of comic book authors, a reference work that collects the history of the comic made by women on a global scale, and that we building collectively on Wikipedia.
