In February of this year, since Wikisphere<\/strong> and in coordination with the Teatro de la Zarzuela<\/strong> (@teatrodelazarzuela<\/a>), we launched the course Women of Zarzuela<\/strong><\/em> to make visible to relevant women in the history of zarzuela and Spanish lyrics on Wikipedia through the creation, translation and improvement of different articles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the beginning of the course were held meetings with experts from the world of zarzuela<\/strong> to map outstanding biographies that do not yet have a presence on Wikipedia in Spanish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This course, which was presented in February<\/strong><\/a>, was offered to teachers and students of music subjects of six universities<\/strong> Spanish: the University of Alcal\u00e1<\/strong> (UAH), the Autonomous University of Madrid<\/strong> (UAM), the Complutense University of Madrid<\/strong> (UCM), the University of Granada<\/strong> (UGR), the University of Oviedo<\/strong> (UNIOVI), the University of Salamanca<\/strong> (USAL). The aim was to involve researchers in the development of biographies and train them in the use of digital technologies to edit Wikipedia and thus contribute to creating an accessible and diverse knowledge community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We design a training process consisting of four virtual sessions<\/strong> in which the keys to editing Wikipedia with a gender perspective, the use of reliable sources, the translation of content and the correct structuring of an encyclopedic article were addressed. As a closure of the process, we organize a virtual editatone<\/strong> in May 2025 in which participants applied what they learned by creating, translating and improving entries on women in zarzuela, thus contributing to expanding accessible and free knowledge about Spanish lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of this first edition of the project Women of Zarzuela<\/a><\/em><\/strong> They have been very interesting because they have allowed us to see the potential of both the subject and the involvement of the cultural and educational institutions that have participated. We see this experience as a first step to develop other types of formations with more extension and depth, and achieve a retention in the number of editors who approach Wikipedia through this system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
