At the beginning of August, was held in Katowice (Poland) Wikimania 2024<\/a><\/strong> the annual gathering of Wikimedians from around the world. On this occasion, Wikiesfera participated with several members of the group in the event, and was also present in the program through a presentation at the WikiWomen Summit<\/a>, a presentation on the project in the general programme of the meeting and a Miss Cirquera Poster<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wikisphere Formula<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Wikimania 2024, we proudly share the Wikisphere experience with the presentation titled The Wikisphere Formula: A Feminist Approach to Bridging the Gender Gap<\/a><\/em>, explaining How Our Feminist Community of Publishers Works to Reduce the Gender Gap on Wikipedia<\/strong>. We wanted to convey the importance of creating a collaborative and secure space<\/strong> where the participation of women and underrepresented groups is crucial. Importantly, we have published thousands of articles, improved many more, and filled important gaps in the knowledge available in the world's most consulted free encyclopedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes us unique is that we are a community composed mainly of women<\/strong>, something uncommon on Wikipedia. Our experience shows that it is possible to build a more diverse and inclusive encyclopedia<\/strong>, and we are sure that our model can inspire other groups to do the same<\/strong>, as in fact is already happening with our comrades in WikiAragon<\/a><\/strong> (@WikiAragon<\/a>) which we had very much in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take this opportunity for our comrades from WikiEditors LX<\/a><\/strong> (@WikiEditorasLX<\/a>), Ana Bragan\u00e7a<\/strong> (@am_anita<\/a>) and Flavia Doria<\/strong> (@aflaviadoria<\/a>) tell their own experience based on the Wikisphere model, and thanks to the fundamental intervention of our beloved Tila Cappelletto<\/strong> (@recortesdela<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a very emotional presentation and we felt that, together, we are transforming the digital landscape<\/strong> so that more voices are heard and represented.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
