A truly equitable knowledge must reflect the diversity of human experiences. Sin embargo, muchos colectivos —como la comunidad LGBT, las mujeres gitanas y otros grupos históricamente marginados o infrarrepresentados— han sido sistemáticamente excluidos o ignorados en los espacios de producción de conocimiento. También determinadas regiones, como es el caso de Asturias. En Wikiesfera trabajamos para cambiar esta realidad: priorizamos su presencia en Wikipedia para asegurar que cualquier persona, sin importar su identidad o antecedentes, pueda verse reflejada. Al hacerlo, contribuimos a una enciclopedia más plural y a una sociedad más justa.

In this line of work we develop and coordinate:

> [ Activities ]

We organize editatonas focused on historically underrepresented collectives, such as the LGBT community, Roma, African, Afro-descendant, Palestinian, Afghan or Dominican women. These collective editing activities seek to expand their representation on Wikipedia and, at the same time, generate safe and collaborative spaces where to reflect on absences, share knowledge and contribute to the construction of a more inclusive, diverse and representative encyclopedia.

• Editatonas and knowledge equity campaigns
• Proyecto Documenta Asturies

> [ Analysis articles ]

In addition, some editors in our community have gone beyond content editing and have written Analytical articles on minority representation on Wikipedia. These texts address different realities and experiences as editors around the equity of knowledge. The goal is to generate a space for reflection both for those who are part of Wikisphere and for anyone interested in questioning biases and absences in free knowledge.
